Tennis-Russian players to be barred from competing at Wimbledon — report
DUBAI: Russian players will not be allowed to compete at Wimbledon this year due to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, according to a report in sports industry news site Sportico on Tuesday. Earlier this month, the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC), which organizes the grasscourt Grand Slam, said it was in talks with the British government on the participation of players from Russia and Belarus. The organizers said it planned to announce a decision in mid-May ahead of the entry deadline for the June 27-July 10 tournament.
