Daniil Medvedev

Daniil Medvedev is just one of the many Russian and Belarusian tennis players banned from the 2022 Wimbledon Championships by the All England Club.

The 2021 U.S. Open Champion from Russia wrote on Twitter on Saturday that he has been suffering from a “small hernia” for the last few months.

Wimbledon organizers are having conversations with the British government about whether Russian tennis players should be allowed to compete at the tournament if they don’t distance themselves from President Vladimir Putin over his country’s invasion of Ukraine.

Novak Djokovic will be replaced by Daniil Medvedev as No. 1 in the ATP rankings after losing to Jiri Vesely in the Dubai Championships quarterfinals.

So what’s next for tennis fans? The 2022 French Open, also known as Roland-Garros, is on its way.

Daniil Medvedev won the U.S. Open for his first major championship, ending Novak Djokovics bid for a calendar-year Grand Slam sweep.
