Tarpishchev explained why there is no clear decision on the participation of Russian tennis players in the Olympics
President of the Russian Tennis Federation Shamil Tarpishchev spoke on the topic of participation of Russian tennis players at the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris.
Earlier, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) decided to admit athletes from Russia and Belarus to the Olympics and Paralympics in Paris in individual neutral status.
— The participation of tennis players in the Olympics has not yet been definitely decided, because we do not know the final options related to the IOC recommendations. The fact that the International Tennis Federation decided to admit our athletes is good. The entry rules remained the same as in Tokyo. Who will be able to go to Paris will become known according to the rating after Roland Garros: 4 tennis players from women and men in singles, who will be higher in the ranking, Sport24 quotes Tarpishchev as saying.
