Wimbledon 2022: Belarusian Victoria Azarenka finds no sense in Wimbledon ban
The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC), which hosts the grass court Grand Slam, took the decision in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the stand was swiftly condemned by the men’s and women’s tours.
“If you are asking me if I agree with Wimbledon or I see their reasoning after being on a personal call with them, I don’t see their reasoning,” Azarenka, who sits on the WTA players’ council, told reporters in Madrid on Thursday.
“It does not make sense and it does not connect to what they are saying.”
The 32-year-old Azarenka, ranked 17th in the world, won her opening round at the WTA 1000 event in Madrid on Thursday but her fellow Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka’s title defence ended with a 6-2 3-6 6-4 defeat to unseeded American Amanda Anisimova.
