Andy Murray believes Russian and Belarusian tennis players will be permitted to play at this year’s Wimbledon after they were banned from competing last year.
Wimbledon took the decision in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with chairman Ian Hewitt saying at the time they were left with “no viable alternative” but to enforce a ban.
Murray, who donated more than £500,000 of his prize money in 2022 to help Ukrainian children affected by the invasion, said at the time that he was “not supportive” of Wimbledon banning Russian and Belarusian players.
“It’s an unbelievably complex situation,” Murray said last year. “I don’t think there’s a right answer. I don’t support one side or the other. I’m not supportive of players getting banned.
