On Wednesday, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) announced that it had allowed Russian and Belarusian tennis players to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris as neutral athletes.
“If a tennis player decides to participate, even if the Russian authorities prohibit it, he will be able to do so. After all, the tennis players’ fees are not paid by the Russian side, that is why they were allowed When the “The list of admitted tennis players is approved, several countries, including Ukraine, will probably do so,” will appeal to French President Emmanuel Macron, declaring that no Russian tennis players should participate in the Olympics. What decision Macron will make remains a big question,” Zhurova shared with Match TV.
The selection for the Olympics will be made on the basis of a ranking, which will be published on June 10, the day after the end of Roland-Garros. To qualify for a quota, tennis players must meet ITF criteria, including participation in the Davis Cup (men) and the Billie Jean King Cup (women). There may also be exceptions to these rules.
The Paris Olympic Games are scheduled from July 26 to August 11.
