“I’m happy to have the opportunity to defend the title” – Medvedev on the admission of Russians to the US Open

Number one in the world ranking Daniel Medvedev expressed his joy at having the opportunity to defend the US Open title in 2022.

On Tuesday, the United States Tennis Association (USTA) said it would allow athletes from Russia and Belarus to compete under a neutral flag at the US Open. Earlier, representatives from Russia and Belarus were suspended from Wimbledon and other tournaments in the UK due to the situation in Ukraine. Later, the ATP and WTA stripped the Grand Slam tournament of ranking points. Medvedev is the defending US Open winner.

“It’s good news. I always said that I would follow the rules and participate in the tournaments that I could. I’m happy to have the opportunity to defend my title. I have wonderful memories of the tournament of last year, – France Press quotes Medvedev.

The US Open will be held in New York from August 29 to September 11.
