Athletistic/Tennis. Tina Kandelaki, Deputy General Director of Gazprom-Media, commented on the words of Ukrainian tennis player Olga Savchuk, who said that the leadership of Russian Daniil Medvedev in the ranking of the best tennis players in the world is nonsense.
“First, the international federations and the Olympic Committee turned sport into a political weapon, and now, when the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals – approx. Athletistic), the WTA (Women’s Tennis Association – approx. . Athletistic) and the ITF ( International Tennis Federation – approx. Athletistic) showed caution, someone shows his indignation. Daniil is rightly the first racket in the world. And we still have many dominant athletes,” Kandelaki wrote in his Telegram channel.
Russian and Belarusian tennis players were not allowed to participate in Wimbledon 2022, despite the fact that they are allowed to play in competitions under the auspices of the ATP, WTA and ITF in a neutral status.
