ATP and WTA 'meeting in Madrid' to discuss scrapping ranking points at Wimbledon this year

The WTA echoed the statement from the ATP, insisting Wimbledon’s decision is not “justified”. Their statement read: “Individual athletes should not be penalized or prevented from competing due to where they are from, or the decisions made by the governments of their countries.

“Discrimination, and the decision to focus such discrimination against athletes competing on their own as individuals, is neither fair nor justified.

“The WTA will continue to apply its rules to reject discrimination and ensure that all athletes are able to compete at our Tour events should they qualify to do so, a position that until today’s announcement has been shared across professional tennis.”
