MOSCOW, March 15 world racket Russian Daniil Medvedev will be denied participation in the 2022 Wimbledon tennis tournament if the athlete does not condemn Russia's actions in Ukraine. Huddleston noted that the United Kingdom government is already discussing with Wimbledon organizer — All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC) — the procedure for admission to the tournament, which will be held from June 27 to July 10, for individual tennis players. «We are talking with representatives of various sports about what the reaction should be. Not a single person who plays under the flag of Russia should be allowed to compete «But I think we need to go beyond that. I think we need to have some confidence that the athletes are not supporters of Vladimir Putin, and we are considering what requirements we can to get guarantees in this direction,» iNews quotes Huddleston. Also, according to Huddleston, the UK is considering reaching a «broad global consensus» with other countries on how individual sports stars from Russia should be treated at various tournaments, such as Medvedev. Earlier, the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) announced the admission of Russian athletes to competitions only in a neutral status. Later, Medvedev and another Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov removed Russian flags from their personal Instagram pages.
