What Novak Djokovic, Emma Raducanu and other top stars have said about playing Wimbledon
Wimbledon has been the talk of the town over the last week despite the French Open currently being played in Paris. After the tournament banned Russian and Belarusian players from competing this summer, the ATP and WTA Tours responded by stripping Wimbledon of all ranking points on offer at the tournament in separate statements last Friday. Several players, including the likes of defending champion Novak Djokovic and British No 1 Emma Raducanu have since spoken out on the move and whether they will still compete without the ability to boost their ranking.

French Open: Rafael Nadal cruises to 300th Grand Slam win; Carlos Alcaraz survives five-set thriller
Carlos Alcaraz and third seed Alexander Zverev both saved a match point in five-set French Open thrillers, while 13-time winner Rafael Nadal and reigning champion Novak Djokovic eased into the third round on Wednesday. Alcaraz, widely tipped as a title contender, rallied from the brink to defeat compatriot Albert Ramos-Vinolas 6-1, 6-7 (7/9), 5-7, 7-6 (7/2), 6-4 after four hours and 34 minutes. "I feel tired," said Alcaraz. "It was a great battle, a great match and we fought until the last point." The 19-year-old Alcaraz is attempting to become just the eighth teenager to capture a major men's title, and backed as the man to break the stranglehold of Djokovic and Nadal. But he was pushed to the limit by the seasoned Ramos-Vinolas, 15 years his elder and whose best performance at a Grand Slam came when he made the quarter-finals in Paris six years ago.
