Tennis legend Billie Jean King urged to allow the Russians to Wimbledon
The celebrity considers any prohibitions in sports unacceptable.
The legendary American tennis player Billie Jean King urged the organizers of Wimbledon not to repeat last year's mistake when Russian and Belarusian athletes were not allowed to participate in the tournament.
The celebrity believes that it is not up to the organizers of sporting events to decide who is allowed for political reasons and who is not.
“Let everyone play, let them get their rating points and money. Sports life is so short, ”said the star.
In her opinion, the WTA should exercise more influence in terms of protecting athletes, and not be limited to fines for not allowing Russians and Belarusians, as was the case last year.
