Deputy General Director of Gazprom-Media Tina Kandelaki reacted to comments by Ukrainian tennis player Olga Savchuk, who was outraged by tennis organizations’ decision not to award scoring points for performances at the Wimbledon tournament.
Previously, the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) decided not to award points to Wimbledon participants in response to the suspension of athletes from Russia and Belarus.
— Ukrainian tennis player Olga Savchuk outraged by the decision of tennis organizations to take points at Wimbledon in the athlete rankings. He says, “The fact that Medvedev becomes number 1 because of that, it’s not fair.”
Well, first of all, it won’t be, but since it was, it will be. And secondly, everything is simple: firstly, the international federations and the Olympic Committee have used sport as a political weapon, and now, while the ATP, the WTA and the ITF have been cautious, someone is showing their indignation.
Yes, Daniel rightly – the world’s first racket. And we still have a lot of dominant athletes. And what’s happened in the past few months is an unprincipled and dishonest game – Kandelaki wrote on his Telegram channel .
