Australian Tennis Federation’s decision to ban fans from bringing Russia and Belarus flags to matches at Australian Open 2023 leaves some imprint on athletes’ performance, says chairman State Duma commission on physical culture and sports. Dmitry Svishchev.
– Of course, it’s unpleasant. Of course, they read both the press and all kinds of audiences. And that leaves a certain imprint on the performance. I would like to draw the attention of our fans to the need to treat our players with love, not to succumb to provocations. After all, you can get sick in different ways, and times are not easy now. Therefore, the main thing is not to harm,” Svishchev told RT.
Russian flags were seen in the first-round match between Ukrainian Ekaterina Beindl and Russian Kamilla Rakhimova, as well as in the duel between Daniil Medvedev and American Marcos Giron.
