Rublev Reacts to Ban Placed on Russian and Belarusian Players

Russian world number eight Andrey Rublev has said Wimbledon’s ban on Russian and Belarusian players is illogical.

Rublev is one of three top 10 players along with fellow Russian Daniil Medvedev and Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus who cannot play at SW19 this summer.

The Belarusian Tennis Federation said it is seeking legal advice about the decision made by the All England Lawn Tennis Club and the Lawn Tennis Association.
