Russian tennis players will be allowed to compete at US Open

The US Open will allow tennis players from Russia and Belarus to compete this year despite the ongoing tournament
war in ukraineWhich one?
Wimbledon prompted to be banned those athletes.

Lew Scher, CEO and executive director of the US Tennis Association, whose group runs the US Open, said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday that the USTA board “removed Russians and Belarusians from entering the tournament because of concerns about keeping individual athletes.” accountable for the actions and decisions of their governments.”

Sher said athletes from Russia and Belarus will play under neutral flags at Flushing Meadows – an arrangement used at various tennis tournaments around the world, including the French Open, which ended on June 5.

The US Open begins on August 29 in New York.

Since Russia launched its attacks on Ukraine in February, Russian athletes have been barred from participating in several sports, including football’s World Cup qualifying playoffs. Belarus assisted Russia in the war.

Russia was also excluded from international team events in tennis, the Billie Jean King Cup and Davis Cup. It was the reigning champion of the two.

The All England Club, where main draw games for Wimbledon begin on 27 June, announced in April that it would ban all Russians and Belarusians from their territories – meaning that currently ranked No. K Daniil Medvedev is not eligible to participate. , Medvedev is the current champion of the US Open.

That ban drew immediate criticism from the WTA and ATP professional tennis tours, as well as some key players, such as defending champion Novak Djokovic.

In May, the WTA and ATP said they would not award any ranking points from Wimbledon this year, an unprecedented rebuke from the All England Club. Some players, including four-time major champion and former number one Naomi Osaka, said they would consider pulling out of Wimbledon.

The ATP has said that all points earned at Wimbledon in 2021 will fall from a player’s record and no new points will be earned there this year. The WTA has not decided how last year’s ranking points for All England clubs will be treated, but this time no new points can be added based on a player’s performance.

Sher explained that what happened with Wimbledon – the All England Club’s move to exclude players from certain countries and the reaction to the tours – played no part in the USTA’s choice of letting Russian and Belarusian players go.

“Our discussion was really on the merits of both sides of this argument and really the principles. It was not a business versus an ethical question,” he said. “There are arguments on both sides. Are you being perceived by the government as supporting atrocious acts? And also: Would you hold an individual athlete responsible for this?”

Lacoste Launches NFTs, Allow Owners to ‘Co-create’ Designs – WWD – Pen 18

Lacoste is floating its first NFTs as part of its project called Underva 3 — pronounced “underwater” — which launched Tuesday.

The NFT will project an image of a crocodile emerging from the water. Lacoste will sell 11,212 digital pieces, called L1212, worth 0.08 Ethereum, in reference to the brand’s iconic polo shirt.

Undw3 is part of the brand’s plans to foray into Web3.

Katherine Spindler, Chief Brand Officer, said, “Undw3 testifies to our desire with the Web3-powered decentralization event and bears witness to our ambitions in this area.”

He added that the project is “an experiential, interactive and co-creative universe in the image of Lacoste’s creativity and avant-gardeism.”

The brand is trying to build a “long-term collaborative community” and building a digital-physical bridge. NFT owners will have access to exclusive physical products as well as a say in the design.

“In a more connected world, we think the next big step is adding you to our core team,” the brand wrote in a series of tweets. “By owning a part of the Lacoste experience, you will be joining the Lacoste family and have your say about our future.” He promised more information in the coming weeks.

This is part of the brand’s plan to diversify its customer support, after launching a Discord server earlier this month. In March the brand entered Web3 with its “Croco Island” project in collaboration with Minecraft.

The launch of NFT on Ethereum coin comes amid a major setback in the crypto currency markets. Ethereum is down nearly 70 percent from its peak and was trading below $1,200 on Tuesday, causing Lacoste NFTs to sell for around $100.
