Wimbledon prohibits players from bringing dogs to the tournament

Wimbledon has confirmed that players will not be allowed to bring their dogs onto the grounds during the tournament. This decision follows trends at other events, like the French Open, where pets have been accommodated for support. Only service and search dogs will be permitted, a policy that has been communicated to players ahead of the tournament. Wimbledon CEO Sally Bolton expressed confidence that the policy will not pose significant issues for competitors. Aside from pet restrictions, an Andy Murray statue is set to be delivered by 2027 to coincide with the championships' 150th anniversary.
