Answer: Wimbledon
The top two players on the ATP rankings – Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev – are set to miss Wimbledon this year. The All England tournament starts on June 27 and the final will take place on July 10.
Alexander Zverev of Germany, who has had an incredible season so far, will miss Wimbledon 2022 due to an injury he suffered in the French Open semi final against Rafael Nadal. The ATP No 2 rolled his ankle and had a nasty fall during the second set. He was taken off the court and soon pulled out of the Roland Garros.

The No. 1-ranked man, Daniil Medvedev, was barred from competing by the All England Club, along with every other player from Russia and Belarus, because of the war in Ukraine.
“It’s a mistake,” International Tennis Hall of Fame member Martina Navratilova said about the ban. “What are they supposed to do, leave the country? I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.”
