In a recent interview, Novak Djokovic said: “Personally, I think there is no need to suspend Russian players. Competition is their right: there is a rule against discrimination in tennis that says everyone can play according to their rank, not their nationality. Wimbledon violated that”.

Kasparov reacted to this excitementwhere he shared his post with the comment below, “Russia can compete on the basis of rank, but they kill on the basis of nationality. Not condemning Putin’s war of extermination in Ukraine, Russian athletes remain silent and support him. And a Serb who doesn’t do that is particularly inappropriate given his history.” The chess player said that Djokovic and many other Serbs during the NATO aggression were in a similar situation with the Ukrainians today during the Russian military offensive.
