It is difficult for tennis players to refuse to participate in tournaments under a neutral flag, they support their country, but they are afraid of sanctions for expressing their position of the WTA and the ATP, says the double champion Russian tennis on Nadezhda Guskova .
– The guys have been training since childhood, how can they leave the sport for their homeland? But, on the other hand, they don’t say anything bad about Russia. When communicating with tennis players who support Russia, they say they cannot voice their position because they are afraid of being excluded from the WTA and ATP. They say there is nothing they can do, they are asked to remove the social media flags, they seem to be from Russia, but not quite. I think we have to fight against this, our state must also protect athletes.
Leaving the sport they have practiced all their life? This is also false. They can be understood when you only see sports from childhood, it’s hard to stop, ”Guskova said on the air of the show“ There is a theme! on MatchTV.
In March, the ATP and WTA allowed Russian athletes to compete in neutral status.
