"For me, I want the best players in the world to be playing": Norrie against another Wimbledon ban for Russians and Belarusians
ATP
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.
Asked about it, Norrie admitted he's not in favour of another ban as recent speculation suggests that it might happen again:

"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."

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
