British Telegraph correspondent Simon Briggs, in his article suggestedThat the most negative outcome of Wimbledon could be the victory of Russian tennis players.
“The worst-case scenario for the All England Club next weekend can easily be imagined – the Princess of Wales officially presenting the trophy to the stateless Medvedev or Rublev. It will be the nightmarish escalation of last year’s strange story when Her Highness shook hands with the Muscovite Elena Rybakina, playing under the Kazakh flag. .
Only one representative of Russia remained at the tournament – Daniil Medvedev. He will play the quarter-final match against American Christopher Eubanks on July 12.
