International Tennis Federation extends sanctions against Russia and Belarus

The International Tennis Federation has decided not to lift the suspension from the Russian Tennis Federation. The organization extended the suspension of its membership. This was reported by the press service of World Tennis.

The relevant decision was approved at the annual assembly, which was held in Almaty. In addition, World Tennis has upheld a similar suspension of the Belarusian Tennis Federation.

On March 1, 2022, the International Tennis Federation suspended Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in team tournaments due to the situation in Ukraine. At the same time, the membership of the tennis federations of Russia and Belarus was suspended, and tournaments in these countries were canceled.

At the same time, the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) allowed Russian and Belarusian tennis players to participate in tournaments under their aegis in neutral status.
