The tennis professionals from the two countries are “not involved in the war. It was tough to punish players who just wanted to play tennis. I was very happy about the decision of the US Open,” emphasized Barbara Schett in the Eurosport interview.
“I was a little concerned that the Grand Slams could make their independent decisions,” Schett admitted, adding: “What will the ATP and WTA do if the US Open had banned the Russians? Are they not awarding world ranking points again? “

“I think it’s important that everyone can play again – and I’m sure that the active players are happy about it too. I think Daniil Medvedev, for example, is happy that he can defend his title,” said Schett in particular for the world number one from Russia, who defeated Novak Djokovic in the 2021 US Open final.
