"For me, I want the best players in the world to be playing": Norrie against another Wimbledon ban for Russians and Belarusians

Cameron Norrie is not in favour of another Wimbledon ban for Russian and Belarussian players as he wants the best players to be present at the event.

Norrie had an amazing Wimbledon this year as he reached the semi-final and lost to Djokovic there. It's an event he likes despite not being a huge fan of grass. He would like to see it thrive and the only way it can is if the field is the best possible one and that includes players from Russia and Belarus.

"For me, I want the best players in the world to be playing. This year, it was tough for those guys, especially for Daniil and Andrey, who had a real chance of winning Wimbledon, and I know how much those guys sacrifice for their careers. Their goals are obviously high and to be winning Slams."

He doesn't really know what will happen and it's not in his control so he'll just focus on himself:

"I don't really know what's going to happen moving forward, and for me, I'm just going to focus on my own stuff. This year I had a great run there and hopefully can do it again but next time earn some ranking points."
