“Hopefully they’ll be allowed to play.” McEnroe called for the admission of the Russians to Wimbledon
The winner of seven Grand Slam tournaments in singles American John McEnroe said that Russian and Belarusian tennis players should be allowed to play at the Wimbledon tournament.
Last year, the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC) and the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) announced that Russians and Belarusians were banned from playing at Wimbledon and other tournaments in the UK due to the situation in Ukraine. The media reported that the organizers would consider allowing tennis players from the two countries to participate in Wimbledon 2023.
– Last year, I did not agree that the Russians and Belarusians were suspended from Wimbledon. Wouldn’t agree with that this year either. I don’t know what they are going to do.
This is a situation that no one wants. I hope something will change that will allow players to play. It just so happens that in our sport, some of the best players – men and women – come from these two countries. I think that they should not be punished for something they have nothing to do with, — quotes the words of McEnroe Tennis Infinity.
Wimbledon 2023 will take place from 3 to 16 July.

In the quarter-finals of the Australian Open, Elina will play against US world number three Coco Gauff, who won her fourth round match against Carolina Muchova.
Svitolina reached the quarter-finals at the Australian Open for the fourth time, specifically for the second time in a row. Elina has never reached the semi-finals so far. In total, this will be Elina’s 14th quarter-final appearance in her career at Grand Slam tournaments.

38-year-old Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic (ATP 4) reached the quarter-finals of the 2026 Australian Open ahead of schedule.
On January 26, Novak was supposed to play in the fourth round against the representative of the Czech Republic, Jakub Mensik (ATP 17). However, the meeting will not take place – Meshik withdrew from the fight due to an abdominal muscle injury.
“After doing everything we could to continue my performance, I had to withdraw from the Australian Open due to an abdominal muscle injury that got worse in the last matches. Despite the disappointment, I will remember for a long time my debut in the fourth round of this tournament. I felt great energy from the fans and the atmosphere in Melbourne was really special,” said Yacoub.
The winner of the match between Lorenzo Musetti (Italy, ATP 5) and Taylor Fritz (USA, ATP 9) will be Novak’s next opponent.
Djokovic will play in the quarter-finals of the major tournament in Melbourne for the 16th time in his career and will compete in the semi-finals for the 13th time.

In the fourth round he had to play with Novak Djokovic, now the Serb reached the quarterfinals without a fight.
– It’s hard to write this. After we did everything we could to continue, I am forced to withdraw from the Australian Open due to an abdominal muscle injury that has progressed in recent matches.
After long discussions with my team and doctors, we have decided not to go on court tomorrow.
Although I’m disappointed, reaching the fourth round here for the first time in my life is something I’ll remember for a long time. I felt incredible energy from the fans and the atmosphere in Melbourne was truly special.
Thanks to my team for supporting me every step of the way, and to everyone who sent messages and encouraged me – it means more to me than you can imagine. Now it’s time to recover properly,” Menshik wrote on the social network.
