Russian tennis player Andrei Rublev noted that Wimbledon’s ban last year on the participation of Russian tennis players gave no dividend to the tournament organizers.
This year, this ban on Russians was lifted.
– If we really want to do better for tennis and for people, I think there were better options, and not just a ban on playing. Because in the end, there was no difference. They only made things worse for themselves. Now we are back here and, as I said, I am really happy to be back and competing, – Tennis‑Infinity quotes Rublev.
On Monday, Rublev beat Australian Max Purcell in the first round of Wimbledon – 6:3, 7:5, 6:4.
