Ukrainian tennis player won’t play Russian unless tours act
Top seed Elina Svitolina, a 27-year-old tennis pro from Ukraine, said she would withdraw from the Monterrey Open rather than play her Russian opponent at the Mexico Championship unless the tennis federation follows suit. The leadership of the IOC and through Russia and Belarus are only known as “neutral athletes”.
Svitolina tweeted on Monday that she does not want to play in the first-round match with Anastasia Potapova “or any other match with a Russian or Belarusian tennis player until the ‘WTA Women’s Tour’” The tournament, the ATP Men’s Tour and the International Tennis Federation ‘follow the advice of the International Olympic Committee’ and prohibit competitors from these countries from using national symbols, colours, flags or national anthems.
“They have no responsibility for invading our homeland.” Svitolina, a two-time Grand Slam semifinalist and 16 career tour singles champion, dropped to No. 3 and is currently No. 15.
Another tennis player from Ukraine, Lesia Tsurenko, 32, tweeted that she and others “wanted to express our great surprise and dissatisfaction with the lack of response to the situation in our home country.”
Tsurenko, a quarter-finalist at the 2018 U.S. Open who dropped to 23rd this week to 127th, called on the WTA to immediately condemn the Russian government.
The ITF said it had canceled events in Russia “indefinitely” and had no plans to host events in Belarus this year. It also postponed an event in Ukraine that had been scheduled for April, citing “increasing security concerns.”
“This is a rapidly evolving situation. We are constantly monitoring the incident and maintaining active discussions with the ITF tennis family, the ITF Executive Committee and security experts to decide and coordinate our next steps. We stand with the people of Ukraine,” The ITF said in a statement released Monday.
“At this time, our priority remains the safety of everyone attending our events. We will of course provide more information as soon as possible.” The WTA and ATP did not immediately respond to inquiries from The Associated Press.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.
Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.
Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.
Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.
Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.
Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.
Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.
Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.
Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
