This has obviously toned down the competition at the prestigious tournament. Other majors allowed the players to be a part of the tour but on the condition that they play under neutral flags.

Players like Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have also condemned Wimbledon’s move to ban the players. However, they are still in favor of the Ukrainian people and wished for peace to be restored. Ukrainian players like Elina Svitolina have demanded the complete ban of the Russian and Belarusian players from all the tours.
