Wimbledon disappointed to lose ranking points

London, May 21 (UNI) Hours after the women's and men's professional tennis tours (WTA. ATP and ITF) stripped ranking points from Wimbledon this year for banning Russian and Belarusian players over the Ukraine invasion, the All England Club expressed "deep disappointment" but said it stood by its decision.
In a statement, the All England Club and the Committee of Management of The Championships - that organises Wimbledon - described as "disproportionate" the decisions of the three tours.
"We ... wish to state our deep disappointment at the decisions taken by the ATP, WTA and ITF in removing ranking points for The Championships. We believe these decisions to be disproportionate in the context of the exceptional and extreme circumstances of this situation and the position we found ourselves in and damaging to all players who compete on Tour," read the statement published on Friday late night.
