Organizers dropped their ban on players from Russia and Belarus but offer public support to Ukraine and its players
It clearly wasn’t the Canadian.
Wimbledon organizers dropped their ban on players from Russia and Belarus after pressure from the ATP and WTA tours, but. They’ve covered accommodation costs for Ukrainian players and offered them training facilities. Wimbledon is also donating £1 from each ticket sold to the British Red Cross for its programs in Ukraine, which amounts to roughly £500,000 in total.
While fans are allowed to wave national flags during matches, Bolton said Russian and Belarusian flags have been banned. Players have been permitted to wear yellow-and-blue ribbons to show their support for Ukraine. On Monday Rublev said he disagreed with Wimbledon’s decision to ban players last year, making it the only Grand Slam to bar Russians and Belarusians. “If we really want to help or do what is better for tennis and for the people, I think obviously there was better options. Not just to ban,” he said after defeating Australia’s Max Purcell 6-3, 7-5, 6-4. “They did only worse to themselves.”, said the crowd had been largely supportive during her 7-6, 6-4 win over Kaia Kanepi of Estonia.
