Polish Sports Minister Kamil Bortnichuk said he would not attend the matches of the world’s first racket Igi Swiatek if he met athletes from Russia and Belarus.
“I completely disagree with the WTA and ATP policy regarding the performance of players from Russia and Belarus at tournaments. Tennis players from these countries will play in the Warsaw tournament, so I decided to avoid matches with their participation.
I would like Iga Sventek to win this tournament. I will be happy to go to their matches. But I wish he didn’t have to play with Russians or Belarusians. If this happens, then I will not be in the match, even if we are talking about the final, ”he quotes the words of bortnichuk i.pl.
