As with the announcement of the arrival of Russian Daniil Medvedev among the men, the organization points to NOC*NSF’s government-supported guidelines regarding the participation of Russian and Belarusian tennis players. These are similar to the position of the tennis associations ATP and WTA, which believe that tennis players from both countries should be able to participate in tournaments under a neutral flag. “It is crystal clear that Libéma Open strongly condemns the Russian invasion of Ukraine and expresses its deepest sympathy for the millions of innocent people affected by the ongoing war,” a statement from the tournament said.

American Danielle Collins, Swiss Belinda Bencic, Kazakh Elena Rybakina and Russian Anastasia Pavliochenkova are the other players from the global top 20 coming to Rosmalen next month.
