After Wimbledon 2022, Nick Kyrgios, Tatjana Maria, and Heather Watson are three of
the players who will miss out on a rankings boost. This is due to the unintended result of the
men’s ATP Tour and women’s WTA Tour getting rid of ranking points at Wimbledon. They got
rid of ranking points at Wimbledon because the All England Club banned Belarusian and
Russian players from Wimbledon.
Novak Djokovic will lose the 2,000 points he got from winning it last year and be
overtaken by multiple people. British men’s number five Liam Broady responded in a tweet
about Djokovic’s imminent drop and wrote: “I am failing to see how this is punishing
Wimbledon?” It’s more like punishing the players instead.
Many players to did very well at Wimbledon, but Wimbledon but will be hurt by the
absence of ranking points. “The more you do good, the more you regret that there are not any
points,” women’s singles finalist and world number two Ons Jabeur said earlier this week.
“Honestly I don’t just look at myself. But I look at also Tatjana [Maria], because she struggled
with her ranking to come back. Now she makes a good run and she doesn’t have points.”
Nick Kyrgios faces the chance of being neglected for the US Open. A world number 40
would usually be guaranteed 1,200 points or more for reaching a Grand Slam final. Even if that
someone lost the final, that would take their ranking up to about 15th. This would be enough to be in the top 32 seeds in New York. Instead, Kyrgios will need to have a reasonable North
American hard-court swing before it to improve his ranking and getting into the top 32 for the US Open.
BBC commentator at Wimbledon, Australian, Todd Woodbridge, who won 16 Grand
Slam men’s doubles titles, believes stripping the tournament of ranking points has “hurt both
tours”. “This tournament is what people, we tennis players, play for,” he told BBC Sport.
