St. PETERSBURG, May 21, Taras Barabash. Honored coach of Russia in tennis Vladimir Kamelzon said that the organizers of Wimbledon turned the great competition into an exhibition tournament. On Friday, the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) decided not to award rating points to the participants of the Wimbledon tournament due to the organizers' refusal to allow Russian and Belarusian players .»Finally, international sports organizations showed wisdom, showed their true colors. ATP and WTA showed that they, first of all, protect the players and this is their job. For Thomas Bach, for example, work is the Olympic Games, but he destroys them. And world tennis stood up for our players. This is a very wise decision. The British turned their great Wimbledon into an exhibition tournament, which will no longer have any meaning and influence on world tennis. And that's their problem,» Kamelzon said. «The British cut the branch they sit on. Wimbledon is the head of all Grand Slams. Cool down guys! Eat your strawberries and cream, cool your brains, and think about what you're doing. I get pissed when I hear about the organizers of Wimbledon, because I don't like brainless people,» the agency's interlocutor added.
