Djokovic Calls Wimbledon 'Lose-Lose,' Still Intends To Play

Published|Updated

Tennis star Novak Djokovic says that he "still intends to go to Wimbledon," even though the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) has stripped the tournament of its points because it banned Russians and Belarussians from participating.

Djokovic, the No. 1 men's tennis player in the world and the defending Wimbledon champion, said after the first round of the French Open, "Yes, I intend to go to Wimbledon."

However, he still leveled plenty of criticism at the tournament for its decision regarding Russian and Belarussian players.
