Tennis.-Bautista sees “fair” that Russians and Belarusians are not vetoed and Carreño recalls that they have rejected the invasion

MADRID, 2 (EUROPA PRESS)

The Spanish tennis player Roberto Bautista considered this Wednesday that it is “fair” that the international organizations of his sport have not prohibited Russian and Belarusian players from competing, while his partner Pablo Carreño recalled that many have shown their rejection of the invasion of Ukraine.

«I think that all tennis players make a great effort and that we dedicate ourselves from a very young age to achieve what we achieve and that something that is made by third parties affects the professional level with a one-year break would be unfair to them. What is happening is not right, but the fair thing is that they let them play, “said Bautista at a press conference on the occasion of the Davis Cup this weekend between Spain and Romania.

For his part, Carreño stressed the importance that “everyone has shown that they are against the war,” but it was also clear that qualifying the decision as “fair or not is going to be little for what is happening.”

“I don’t know if the decision is wrong or not, the important thing is that we all agree that what is happening is not correct and that we can solve it as soon as possible,” added the Asturian tennis player.

Finally, the Davis Cup captain, Sergi Bruguera, did not want to delve too deeply into the issue of whether there should be a sanction or not because he does not have “the level to give an opinion on what should be done.” “It is not a question for us, it is a complicated issue, but what is very clear is that we are against the war,” he settled.
