Will we see Daniil Medvedev at Roland-Garros?
If it were up to Seva Kewlysh, President of the Ukrainian Tennis Federation, the answer would be no.
According to
As
, the latter asked the ITF to deprive the new world number 1 of Grand Slam tournaments in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The idea being precisely to deprive Medvedev of his title of best player in the world.

“We will let Medvedev play the ATP Tour tournaments, but the Grand Slams are ITF tournaments.
If you can't play them, you'll never be number one […] Medvedev shouldn't play at Roland-Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open,” Kewlysh believes.
It's a huge honor to take over this spot.
I'm sure everyone can understand it comes with mixed emotions that it happens this week.
Thank you to my wife, team, sponsors, friends, & everyone that has helped along the way.
It's a long journey and I look forward to the years ahead pic.twitter.com/YYGCHE4SBK

Medvedev for peace
Daniil Medvedev spoke out last week against the war on his Twitter account.
“I ask for peace in the world, peace between countries”, he wrote in particular, seeking to dissociate himself from a war which in no way concerns him.
But at a time when sanctions are raining down on Russian sport, collectively and individually, the tennis player is not safe.
