Accept Elina Svitolina’s request and make Russian players 'neutral', Mats Wilander tells ATP and WTA
The ATP and WTA should adhere to the IOC’s recommendations following Elina Svitolina’s request for Russian and Belarussian tennis players to be made “neutral athletes”, says Eurosport tennis expert Mats Wilander. In light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, IOC guidance states that sports federations should remove Russian teams and athletes from events, or class them as neutral athletes in international competitions.
