Sabalenka’s big problems. He may not play at Wimbledon! She delivered the message Tennis

Aryna Sabalenka (2nd WTA) could not perform in last year’s Wimbledon. This is because the tournament authorities decided to exclude tennis players representing Russia and Belarus. Later, she did not hide that she regretted it. “They banned us from participating, and what did that change?” Nothing – they (Russian authorities – ed.) are still doing it and that’s the sad part of the situation – she said.

Aryna Sabalenka is in trouble ahead of Wimbledon. Still waiting for a visa

This year, that will not happen again. The organizers announced that Russians and Belarusians will take part in the competition, but only if they meet several conditions. They will have to play under a neutral flag, will not be able to publicly support the activities of Vladimir Putin’s regime, and must ensure that they do not receive financial support from Russia.

Meanwhile, Sabalenka has another procedural problem, which she announced on social media. One user asked her if she was looking forward to this year’s Wimbledon. “I still haven’t got my visa, so I haven’t been approved,” she replied.

Aryna Sabalenka competes with Iga Świątek. You can lose valuable points

The possible absence of Sabalenka on the London courts would be a big problem for her in terms of competition with Iga ¦wiątek (1st WTA). The Belarusian would like to fight with the Polish woman for the title of the leader of the world ranking, and a possible good result at Wimbledon would bring her closer to that. The winner of the tournament will receive as many as 2000 points in the WTA ranking.

At the moment, Świątek has an advantage of 1744 points over Sabalenka in the ranking. Most likely, after the current tournament in Rome, the difference will increase even more, because the Belarusian was already eliminated in the second round. And soon after, the Roland Garros grand slam will be played, where the Polish woman will be the main favorite for the title.
