World No. 1 Novak Djokovic said Wimbledon’s decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players over Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine is ‘crazy’. Wimbledon announced on Wednesday that it had barred all Russian and Belarusian players from this year’s championships due to the invasion, which Russia calls a ‘special operation’. Djokovic, who grew up in war-torn Serbia, said the athletes had nothing to do with the ongoing conflict.
