It’s a decision that has split many tennis fans but Novak Djokovic will play at this year’s Wimbledon event despite not being vaccinated against Covid-19

The world number one travelled to Melbourne, Australia, earlier this year after believing he would be able to play, only to get knocked back on the eve of the Australian Open.

The 34-year old then missed tournaments in the U.S. due to Covid rules, but the All England Lawn Tennis Club has given him the tick of approval.

Chief Executive Sally Bolton says “we are planning to return to a normal Championships this year and so we don’t intend to implement any of the Covid-19 measures that we saw last year in any substantial fashion”.

But the ban against all Russian players will stand and that means World Number 2 Daniil Medvedev won’t play.

The ban relates to the War in Ukraine and what Wimbledon organisers said should not be “used to benefit the propaganda machine of the Russian regime”.

Djokovic labelled the ban as “crazy” and the ATP also criticised the decision.

Airbus faces manufacturing issues with A320 fuselage panels, impacting shares but confirming safety for in-service aircraft.

Airbus is confronting a fresh manufacturing issue after discovering a quality defect in several dozen fuselage panels used on A320-family jets. The revelation sparked investor concern, with shares falling by up to 10% as the news broke.

While the newly identified flaw has caused some delivery delays, Airbus confirms that aircraft already in service are safe and unaffected. The defect is limited to a specific batch of panels, and all new production now meets required standards.

The company has apologised for the disruption and says it is working closely with suppliers to prevent a repeat of the issue.
