Wimbledon directors are yet to decide on players ban

Wimbledon has still not taken a decision on the participation of Russian and Belarusian players this year.

Organizers told Reuters that they were continuing talks with key stakeholders.

The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) and the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) had banned players from the two countries following Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine, for which Belarus is main supporter.

Reports suggest the All England Club will allow Russian players to compete. Should Wimbledon keep the ban on Russian players?
