Monterrey – World number one Daniil Medvedev does not have to fear exclusion from the tennis tour for the time being.
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the tennis federations of Russia and Belarus will be suspended, but the players will still be allowed to participate in international tournaments. This was announced by the men’s organisation ATP, the women’s organisation WTA and the world federation ITF.
Accordingly, the two countries will be excluded from team competitions. International tournaments will also no longer be held in Russia and Belarus. The players can continue to compete on the tour or at the Grand Slams, but will no longer be listed under the Russian flag. The Russian Medvedev has just replaced Novak Djokovic at the top of the world rankings.
