The tension is extreme at the international level and the Ukrainian tennis federation has put a pawn this morning by officially asking the ITF to exclude Belarus and Russia.
Suffice to say that we can expect everything in the coming weeks.
Indian Wells starts on March 7 and one can imagine the “worst” for the Russian players, the organizers could indeed evoke the idea of maintaining public order for example.
It’s a coincidence but the first major tournament canceled due to the Covid-19 crisis had already been Indian Wells. We also know that its owner Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle can do almost what he wants with a simple phone call to the ATP and the WTA!
