Jamie Murray believes that the stand-off between Wimbledon and the professional tennis tours over the removal of ranking points for the tournament is a “mess” with the players caught in the middle.
Speaking ahead of his French Open second-round men’s doubles match alongside Bruno Soares on Friday, Murray said that he believes most players would prefer to play with ranking points and he said that the UK government had put Wimbledon in a tough position in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The All England Club has banned Russian and Belarusian players, with the ATP and WTA withdrawing ranking points as a result.
