Wimbledon's ban on Russian and Belarusian players has provoked a stinging reaction from Australian veteran John Millman. 9WWOS

"I'll be as honest and frank as possible. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is terrible. My heart aches for the Ukrainian people the Ukrainian players," Millman added.

"There were two options - recommendations, not even laws - but recommendations given by the UK government."Millman is no stranger to the Wimbledon debate and suggested last month the All England Club should donate this year's profits to the war effort, instead of kicking players out because of their country of origin. The 32-year-old's opinion sparked a heated reaction from Ukrainian player, Marta Kostyuk, who said it was a "pretty selfish" view.

"I'm getting older and there's probably not going to be so many opportunities to do it, so I think I will. But maybe I'll get banned for saying this stuff," he said.
