Tennis: Panatta “exclusion of Russians from Wimbledon is racism”

(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 09 – “Excluding Russian tennis players from Wimbledon was an insane decision because people are not hit. It is a form of racism. Rublev and Medvedev also took sides against the war in Ukraine”. Adriano Panatta said this on the sidelines of the presentation of the ‘Banca Generali – A champion as a friend’ event staged at the Parioli Tennis Club in Rome.

On the refusal of Alcaraz to play the Internationals of Rome he instead commented: “It is normal that he gives up, he had to rest after the recent results. I hope his absence will be good for Sinner but many are benefiting from it because Alcaraz is the strongest of the world at the moment. Carlos can be an incentive for Sinner, because today the Spaniard is younger and stronger. ” (HANDLE).
