“Now, when as a team we cannot perform, it is clear that we are losing positions in the ranking. But now, this ranking does not reflect reality. We have already proven our level ago two years. Now, if that wasn’t the case, “Because of these restrictions, we would have struggled for the highest places. We have two tennis players in the top 10 of the world rankings, no one else has such representation. Russian athletes reach the final stages of the Grand Slam,” Olkhovsky said in an interview with TASS.
In early March 2022, the International Tennis Federation suspended the membership of Russia and Belarus and canceled tournaments in these countries. Then, on March 14, the exclusion of the Russian and Belarusian national teams from participation in the Davis Cup and the Billie Jean King Cup was confirmed. In addition, the Russian team is a three-time winner of the Davis Cup.
