Former junior world number two Anastasia Pivovarova said Russian tennis players should refuse to participate in the Challenger in the Polish town of Grodzisk-Mazowiecki, whose organizers have called on Russians and Belarusians not to apply to participate.
– As for the organizers of the tournament in Poland, in several countries Russian tennis players were not allowed. For me, this is not news. I think other tournaments should be chosen. And if some obstacles are created for us, then we just need to look for other ways. Why put yourself in a situation where, even if you somehow get into the rosters, there will always be pressure? It is absolutely not necessary for tennis players. You need to choose a different path, choose a schedule that will not limit you in any way,” Gazeta.Ru quoted Pivovarova as saying.
The Challenger Tournament in Grodzisk Mazowiecki will take place from August 14 to 19.
