BTW at least Rybakina can go into Wimbledon 2023 not having to defend any points as defending champion

True, no one will have to defend their points, but hopefully everyone will want to defend their results.

You would hope so.

Tom Cruise was in the royal box instead of Prince William who refused to attend today in case Rybakina won. William didn’t want to hand her the trophy because she’s Russian.

Kate is the patron of the All England Club she always presents the trophy to the ladies champion, she was in a bright yellow dress, though she needs to eat, she is soo skinny

Because everyone around Tom was seated, you were able to actually see him.

BTW Rybakina is not Russian to start with, if she was, she would not be able to compete at Wimbledon?
Rybakina is from Kazakhstan

She was born and raised in Russia, and I believe even still lives there, but only decided to play for Kazakhstan a few years ago when the Russian tennis federation didn’t give her the support she wanted.

There are a bunch of Russians who play for Kazakhstan, ie, Bublik, Rybakina, Putintseva, Kukushlin, Shvedova, among many others. As far as I know, Diyas is the only Kazakhstani player born in Kazakhstan.

How unfortunate Jabour didn’t win and spare everyone the continuing debate about the Russian ban.

Well Rybakina deserved her win fair and square, regardless of nationality, Wimbledon are to blame for banning Russian and Belarusian players, personally speaking was disgusting.

Regardless of Rybakina living in Russia and being born in Russia, my point was she represents Kazakhstan which she has done since 2018, if she still played for Russia she would not be allowed to play at Wimbledon.

Couldn't they had Sacha Boran aka Borat present her the trophy instead of that English turd

Who’s an “English turd?”

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Who’s an “English turd?”

I think he is referring to Kate the Duchess of Cambridge, who presented the winning trophy to Elena

Why is she a turd? And what’s her being English got to do with it?

I have no idea, only AP can answer that question

I hope he enlightens us, it seems an excessive and purely gratuitous insult…

Well Kate is the patron of the All England Club, she always presents the trophies at the womens final also the mens, he didnt have a problem with Kate today at the mens final, I dont know what gives with him at times

It's sad that Pliskova has to watch younger players win trophies that she wish to have..I think her negative mindset is not doing her any favors.
