It’s time for the Wimbledon to take centre stage
All the attention now moves on to the third Grand Slam of the year – the Wimbledon. It is scheduled to be played from 27th June till 10th July. However, the tournament is presently wrapped in a blanket of controversy.
Wimbledon authorities announced that they would bar Russian and Belarusian players from playing in the tournament this year as a response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Belarus’ direct support of the war. Wimbledon has become the first tennis event to restrict individual Russian and Belarusian athletes from competing. As a result, ATP and WTA have stripped the historic event of ranking points. It will be interesting to see how many top players still choose to play the iconic Grand Slam.
The decision means the exclusion of several highly ranked players. Four Russian men are ranked in the top 30 on the ATP Tour, including No. 2 Daniil Medvedev, who is the reigning U.S. Open men’s champion. Russia has five women in the top 40 of the WTA Tour rankings, led by No. 15 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus is ranked No. 4 and was a Wimbledon semifinalist last year. Her compatriot Victoria Azarenka, a former No. 1, is ranked No. 18.
