Daily Express - Wimbledon has handed Putin a ‘win’
Summary of the front page
The Daily Express says Ukraine’s foreign minister believes Wimbledon has “handed Putin a victory” by allowing Russian players to compete this year.He accuses tennis chiefs at the All England Club of “lacking courage” by allowing Russian and Belarusian players at this year’s tournament, after what he calls last year’s “noble” decision to implement a ban.
The paper warns that the Princess of Wales – as patron of the club – could be put in the “awkward position” of handing a winner’s trophy to a competitor from either country. Wimbledon has said its decision was made after discussion with the UK government, the Lawn Tennis Association and international stakeholders.
