McEnroe questions the Duchess of Cambridge’s award
The Duchess of Cambridge presented the winning trophy to Russian-born Rebakina. Questions were also raised on this. John McEnroe, a veteran tennis player, said – I do not mean anything with politics, but everyone will think that the Duchess of Cambridge gave the trophy to the Russian-born Rebakina from her hand. McEnroe said Ribakina is Russian and her parents live in Moscow.

It is noteworthy that because of the invasion of Ukraine, players from Russia and Belarus were banned from playing at Wimbledon. On the other hand, the ATP and WTA will not include Wimbledon wins in ranking points because of the ban on players from Russia and Belarus. The intention behind banning the players was to prevent photographs of Russia winning and lifting the trophy on the Presidential victory of the Russian Federation. Born on 17 June 1999 in Moscow, Alina represented Russia until 2018. After this, she started playing from Kazakhstan for financial help.
