Andy Murray took to Twitter to express his belief that the points stripping will not diminish Wimbledon as an event explaining that it will never be an exhibition.
Andy Murray has been one of the players that spoke out against Wimbledon banning Russian and Belarussian players but the British player is not worried about the consequences of that decision. Despite the event being stripped of points and some players expressing doubt over playing, Murray took to Twitter to explain why the event will never be seen as an exhibition.
He wrote:
"I follow golf very closely and have no idea how many ranking points the winner of the @TheMasters gets. Me and my friends love football and non of us know or care how many ranking points a team gets for winning the @FIFAWorldCup."
He then continued:
"But I could tell you exactly who won the World Cup and the Masters. I’d hazard a guess that most people watching on centre court @Wimbledon in a few weeks time wouldn’t know or care about how many ranking points a player gets for winning a 3rd round match."
And finished off with:
"But I guarantee they will remember who wins. @Wimbledon will never be an exhibition and will never feel like an exhibition. The end."
