Medvedev still thinking about Wimbledon

Tennis

Daniil Medvedev does not lose hope of being able to play in the next edition of the Wimbledon tournament. The Russian player, current world number 2, explained on Sunday May 15 that he would be ready to line up on the London turf in the event of the organizers' decision being overturned by the British authorities. “ There was a lot of discussion around this, confided Danill Medvedev during a meeting with the press on the sidelines of the Geneva Open, where he must return to competition this week after a hernia operation. I try to follow what is happening because the decision is not mine. For now, it's between Wimbledon, the ATP and perhaps the British government. It's a complicated situation and, like all other things in life, if you ask 100 players, everyone will have a different opinion. I can play. I would be happy to play at Wimbledon because I love this tournament. If I can't play then I will try to play other tournaments and prepare well for next year if I have the chance to play“. The Russian admitted that he had not yet had the opportunity to speak with the other players on the circuit since the decision of the organizers, announced on April 20, to ban the Russians and Belarusians from the English stage of the Grand Slam in reaction to the conflict in Ukraine.
