The possibility of Daniel Medvedev being banned from this year's Wimbledon on Thursday (March 24) was dismissed after the British government raised questions about the status of Russian players in the game.
British Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston told a parliamentary hearing last week that the government may ask Medvedev to assure him that he does not support Russian President Vladimir Putin before he is allowed to play at Wimbledon.
The move follows Russia's increasingly isolated sport on the global stage following the country's invasion of Ukraine.
While the ATP and WTA have allowed Russian players to continue to play, Huddleston said he would be uncomfortable with an athlete "flying the flag for Russia" at Wimbledon, adding that he had discussed it with the All England Club question.

KUALA LUMPUR: Women's singles S. Kisona scored one of her biggest recent victories after beating former world No. 1 India Saina Nehwal to advance to the quarterfinals of the Swiss Open on Thursday.
The world number 64 won 17-21, 21-13, 21-13 in 55 minutes to reach the World Tour quarterfinals for the first time since the 2018 Orleans Masters.
She has been under fire for poor form since winning the Sea Games in 2019, which should take some of the pressure off Kissona.
