The International body now talking about kicking them out of all competitions as well, and stopping them from hosting the World Championship next year...good news. If FIFA finally catches up, and the Olympic Committee is already there, tennis has to be next up...no Russian competitors, at a time when Medvedev is world Number 1. No French Open or Wimbledon for him this year, and no Davis Cup entries surely. All seems like a racquet to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No French Open or Wimbledon for him this year, and no Davis Cup entries surely.Ban them from the Davis Cup fair enough, but it would be totally wrong to ban any individual athlete from competing. Make them play under a neutral flag (not the ROC farce) or for a different country, but don't deny them their entire livelihood on the basis of something which they clearly don't have any control over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Surely they would have been on high alert already due to being at war and the announcement was just to focus minds in the West on what actually is at stake here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
