Serbia’s Novak Djokovic returns the ball to Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka during their men’s singles match on day two of the Roland-Garros Open tennis tournament at the Court Philippe-Chatrier in Paris on May 23, 2022. AFPPIX: Novak Djokovic said Monday he “intends to go to Wimbledon” to defend his title despite the controversy over the tournament being stripped of ranking points.
The 35-year-old Djokovic stands to lose 2,000 points due to the decision by the ATP and WTA tours to remove ranking points from Wimbledon in response to the player ban.He has already lost 2,000 points by not being able to defend his Australian Open title. “A few days ago I found out that there was a document of recommendation from the British government towards the All England Club and where they had several options,“ said Djokovic.
The Serb, who was unable to defend his Australian Open title in January after being deported from Melbourne over his vaccination status, outlined options.Amongst alternatives, he said, were Belarus, Ukraine, and Russians playing an exhibition event during the Slam or a mixed doubles event.“But there was never really, unfortunately, a strong communication coming from Wimbledon. That’s why I think it’s just wrong.
Earlier Monday, former world number one Naomi Osaka said she is “leaning towards not playing” Wimbledon
