Russian Tennis Federation (RTF) president Shamil Tarpishchev claimed credit for Kazakh player Elena Rybakina's women's singles title win at Wimbledon. "It's very nice. Well done Rybakina. We've won Wimbledon," Tarpishchev said. Rybakina, born and brought up in Russia's Moscow, switched nationalities to Kazakhstan in 2018. Notably, Russian players were banned from participating in Wimbledon.
