The men's singles entry list for the 2022 Wimbledon Championships has been released, as the grass-court major will be played from June 28th until July 10th.
Russian and Belarusian players won't be allowed to compete at the 2022 Wimbledon, making it a very special edition, even though not for good reasons.
This decision by the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) and the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) was shocking, and it also drew a reaction from the ATP and the WTA, as there won't be any points awarded at this year's grass-court major.
Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev, Karen Khachanov, and Aslan Karatsev are just a few examples of players who were not allowed to participate this year, making the entry list significantly weaker.
Russia is a powerhouse in the tennis world, and there wouldn't be only plenty of players that would enter the main draw but also the qualifying for the 2022 Championships that were not allowed to compete.
Moreover, it will also be the first time since 1999 that the tournament will be held without Roger Federer, as the Swiss Maestro will skip the event.
Despite so many big names missing, defending champion Novak Djokovic will take part in the event and will be the biggest favorite to win it. Andy Murray, who is a two-time champion, is also part of the entry list.
Young guns such as Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Casper Ruud, and Felix Auger-Aliassime will all try to make a good result in the British capital.
Matteo Berrettini, who reached the final last year, is coming back from an injury and he will try to achieve a similar result also this year.
Rafael Nadal will also be among players that will try to have a deep run, as will home player Cameron Norrie and another youngster, Jannik Sinner.
