| International Tennis Federation suspends Russian Federation's membership | | |  agencies
LONDON, May 7: The International Tennis Federation (ITF) has officially suspended the Russian Tennis Federation's (RTF) membership, RTF President Shamil Tarpischev has told Sputnik.
An extraordinary conference of the ITF was held on Friday.
"The activities of the Russian Tennis Federation have officially been suspended. The decision was made by a general vote. It was expected. They will suspend our and Belarusians' membership. Essentially, it was an already decided question," Tarpischev said.
In March, the ITF suspended the RTF and the Belarusian Tennis Federation and canceled all tournaments in these countries under the auspices of the organization amid Moscow's military operation in Ukraine. Russia and Belarusian athletes can compete in tournaments under the auspices of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and the Women's Tennis Association (WTA), and as neutral athletes. ATP and WTA also canceled the Kremlin Cup, which was to be held in Moscow in October.
Wimbledon tournament organizers suspended Russian and Belarusian tennis players from participating in the draw this season in late April because of the situation in Ukraine. The tournament will be held from June 27 to July 10. |
