In his view, in order to be able to take part in the 2022 Wimbledon tournament as a Russian athlete, a clear distancing from the politics and war of Vladimir Putin is necessary. This is what the English Minister of Sport, Nigel Huddleston, announced to the public a few days ago. Daniil Medvedev, for example, who will be entering the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Miami tomorrow in Miami, may feel directly addressed here. With a match against Andy Murray.
When asked about the prospect of a possible absence from Wimbledon, Medvedev was buttoned up before the start of the tournament in Miami. "I don't have an answer about Wimbledon," said the second in the world rankings in Florida. “I have to see what happens next first. I try to think from tournament to tournament. After all, there are always different rules about who is allowed to play and who is not.”
Medvedev lives in Monte Carlo
He is currently in Miami, where he can practice the sport he loves. “And the next tournament after that will be Monte-Carlo, where I currently reside. I love this tournament too. I can play it normally and am happy about it.”
Daniil Medvedev has not yet publicly commented on the Russian war of aggression. "Of course I have opinions on different issues, but I prefer to talk about it with my family, with my wife, where sometimes you can disagree."
