Why not...

Why not let the Russian and Belarusian players compete at Wimbledon and allow the Western Europeans on the court and in the stands to voice their displeasure? There are better more theatrical ways to get the point across. A little East vs West might be good for the ratings too. That way we can keep politics out of the tennis committees and leave it with the people where it belongs. Maybe the West is afraid they'll win.

Adult league players don't get to play in Wimbledon.

Wow, thanks for asking. Nice to have a thread on this topic finally. Espcially one with a western disdain overtone.

Hey I recently played a guy (in a singles flex league) who played in Wimbledon!
(Granted he is now 74, but still...)

Noise and disturbance in the stands cannot be tolerated. They can easily lead to violent encounters.

Have you been to the US Open?

Have you been to the US Open?

No. But when I play there, I will tell the umpire that I will not tolerate noise.

That did sort of work out for Medvedev. They only booed at changeovers and post match interviews.
