A statement published by the All England Club has declared that all Russian and Belarusian tennis pros will be banned from participating at Wimbledon this year because of the conflict in Ukraine.
"It is our responsibility to play our part in the widespread efforts ... to limit Russia's global influence through the strongest means possible," the statement read. "In the circumstances of such unjustified and unprecedented military aggression, it would be unacceptable for the Russian regime to derive any benefits from the involvement of Russian or Belarusian players with The Championships."
Screw them.
