Tennis superstar Rafael Nadal has slammed Wimbledon’s ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes as ‘unfair’

Rafael Nadal has been quick to condemn Wimbledon’s ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes.

Wimbledon moved to immediately ban players from Russia and Belarus from any UK grass-court tournaments, amid the war in Ukraine.

“I think it’s very unfair [on] my Russian tennis mates, my colleagues, It’s not their fault what’s happening in this moment with the war.”

The Spaniard’s comment follows that of world number one Novak Djokovic who says the ban is crazy.

The governing bodies of men’s and women’s tennis ATP and WTA are against the bans and are calling for a solution.

However, Wimbledon has been quick to defend its motion, moving in line with other Governments and sporting bodies amid Russia’s atrocities in Ukraine.
