MOSCOW, April 5 Decision on admission of world No. 2 Daniil Medvedev and others Russian tennis players to participate in Wimbledon will be accepted until mid-May, according to the BBC, citing the organizers of the tournament, the All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC). Earlier, British Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston did not rule out that Medvedev would be denied participation at Wimbledon in 2022 if the athlete does not come forward to condemn Russia's actions in Ukraine. According to The Telegraph, AELTC will not face any legal consequences if it imposes a ban on the participation of Russians in Wimbledon, due to its independent status. «We plan to announce a decision before the deadline for applications in mid-May,» — says in a statement to AELTC. The organization noted that they are in contact with the UK government and international tennis federations. «We have taken note of the UK government's instruction regarding the presence of Russian and Belarusian citizens in a neutral status at sporting events in the country. We continue to negotiate with the government, The Lawn Tennis Association and the leadership of international tennis organizations,» the AELTC added.
