Australian tennis player Daria Saville (née Gavrilova), who represented Russia until 2015, will not compete in the Olympic Games in singles.
Saville will be replaced by former world number five Sara Errani of Italy. Her opponent will be China’s Zheng Qingwen. On Thursday, it was announced that Saville will replace Moscow-born Elena Rybakina, who is currently representing Kazakhstan in the singles competition. Rybakina withdrew from the Olympics due to acute bronchitis.
Saville is still scheduled to compete in the Olympics in doubles. On July 27, she and Ellen Perez will face Americans Cori Gauff and Jessica Pegula. According to the schedule published on the official Olympic website, Saville’s singles and doubles matches were scheduled for the same day and were scheduled to start at the same time (1:00 p.m. Moscow time).
