Novak Djokovic declared at a press conference on Saturday (25 June) disagreeing with Wimbledon’s decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players from competing amid the ongoing war with Ukraine.
He commented: “As a child of a war – several wars actually…I know what it feels like being in the position. But… I cannot say I fully agree to ban Russian tennis players, Belarusian tennis players from competing indefinitely. I just do not see how they have contributed to anything that is really happening.”
