Triple Grand Slam champion in doubles Elena Vesnina finds it strange to ban the Russian and Belarusian flags at the Australian Open.
As reported, Russian flags were seen during the first-round match between Ukrainian Ekaterina Beindl and Russian Kamilla Rakhimova, as well as during the match Daniel Medvedev with the American Marcos Giron.
– Strange decision to prohibit bringing flags. Why can’t a person bring their country’s flag to the podium? I think a difficult period is passing for our tennis players and Belarusians. I think they are already settling in no matter what. I know that there are our fans, that they are supported. No matter what country you are from, they always support and encourage you. I hope it doesn’t affect him in any way. Our guys and girls are confident and motivated for this Grand Slam tournament,” Vesnina told The Championship.
