Former leader of Ukrainian tennis Alexander Dolgopolov He responded to the comment of the Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, Oleg Nemchinov, about the country’s government’s decision that Ukrainian athletes will not compete in qualifying competitions for the Olympic Games, where Russians and Belarusians will be allowed.

“I can’t help but react to the statements of the prominent sports figure, Mr. Oleg Nemchinov.

Oleg, I am very sorry that you are blamed for this embarrassing position, but you should have thought before making any loud statements.

1. – “This isn’t the Olympic qualifiers, it’s about making money, it’s not about dignity, it’s about state, it’s about money.”

Oleg, if you do not know that the most important competitions in tennis are the Grand Slam tournaments, you do not need to study sports for them and for the annual rating (which is exactly the choice and determined for the Olympics). from the best performances during the calendar year), get to know our players and Ukraine. The Olympics, of course, are important, but far from being the main thing in the interests of the state in the success of tennis players and the recognition of Ukraine!

2. Mr. Oleg, the fact that you throw yourself into the Ministry of Sports and the NOC of Ukraine and cannot help your state position for a year, consolidated team actions and demands to dismiss Russians and Belarusians, when almost every prominent representative of tennis, full-scale publicly shouted about their suspension from the first day of an invasion, so it seems to me that this is a shame not for tennis and its representatives, but for your builds …

3. And finally, Mr. Oleg, although with great respect for your participation in the ATO, to refer to your deceased brother, because you and your colleagues have honestly lost on *sleep suspension in some sports, it’s a shame.

Let me remind you that the former tennis players are now defending our country, while you are already sitting in the offices and making career decisions in professions you do not know.

I would also like to remind you that 90% of modern tennis is unfortunately represented only by our beautiful women in important competitions for our state. It’s better to think that they will survive, rather than manipulate by the fact that they have the right to live and work abroad, and they will apparently be more successful than you, except for doing your job anywhere and trying to succeed. Even after the aggressor countries have been eliminated for over a year, they still manage to transfer drones, cars and much more to me and other units.

So, before you destroy an entire sport, or even many of our country’s sports (because I’m not aware of how critical this decision is for other sports), it’s good to go through the details of each case before you cause it. damage to the country!

And with combat units and war-related manipulations, both Mr. Gutzeit and you, remember that you and Gutzeit are not currently at war, but we, you are in the offices, so let’s not tell us too much. about dead brothers, because it seems that somehow…” Dolgopolov wrote on Facebook.
