Novak Djokovic has slammed Wimbledon's decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players as ‘crazy’ after nine-time champion Martina Navratilova was reduced to tears by the move in an exclusive LBC interview
She was reduced to tears during Tonight with Andrew Marr as she recalled fleeing communist Czechoslovakia to live in the US when she was just 18 years old.
Organisers said in a statement that "with deep regret" they would have to "decline entries from Russian and Belarusian players to The Championships 2022." Navratilova became emotional as she was asked by Andrew whether the decision brings back the trauma she experienced, when she was accused of being too Americanised by the communist regime in Czech at the time.
