Petrova believes that current Russian tennis players will agree to come to the tournament in Moscow

Current Russian tennis players will agree to participate in the tournament under the auspices of the Russian Tennis Federation (RTF) in Moscow, said the former third racket of the world Nadezhda Petrova.

Earlier, the FTR announced that the Kremlin Cup will not take place this year. In October, the head of the federation, Shamil Tarpishchev, said that the tournament of legends with the participation of famous tennis players could take place before the end of the year.

– For Russian tennis players, the Kremlin Cup has always been special on the calendar, everyone tried to approach it in excellent shape and achieve high results on it. In addition, we have always appreciated the opportunity to perform in front of our fans – for them this is such a rare chance to see their favorite tennis players live. And now I was preparing for it with great pleasure and full dedication.

On the other hand, the RTF announced that by the end of the year a number of competitions will be held in Moscow, in which not only current professionals, but also legends will take part, and young athletes and spectators will still be able to see both their idols and young tennis players. Some of them may become the new star of our sport. Also, we must not forget that such events are important for the promotion and development of not only tennis, but also a healthy lifestyle in our country.

Will current players come? Yes, I think they will. They play for our country. This year there was no Billie Jean King Cup, no Davis Cup. Why not – please your fans? – said Petrova “Championship”.

Russian tennis players play at international tournaments in a neutral status.
