The ATP Tour and WTA Tour will not award ranking points for Wimbledon this year in response to the All England Club’s decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players from the championships. Last month, Wimbledon confirmed the decision to bar players from those countries from competing, stating that it was not “viable to proceed on any other basis at The Championships” in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The move to ban Russians and Belarusians was met with criticism from many of the sport’s biggest names, including Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
