    Sabalenka, Medvedev To Continue As Neutral Athletes Despite IOC Policy Shift: ITF

    By IANS News May 08, 2026 • 19:06 PM View: 123
    The International Tennis Federation: Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka and former world No. 1 Daniil Medvedev will keep competing under neutral status. The International Tennis Federation (ITF) confirmed that its stance on the suspension of Belarus and Russia remains unchanged, even after a recent policy shift by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

    The IOC announced on Thursday that athletes from Belarus can again compete under their national identity. They no longer need to undergo neutral-status vetting, despite the ongoing war in Ukraine. However, the ITF made it clear that this decision will not change tennis’s existing restrictions.

    “The International Tennis Federation confirms that the IOC’s announcement does not change its existing position regarding the Belarus and Russian Tennis Federations’ suspensions, which remain in place,” the ITF stated.
