Daniil Medvedev is a Russian professional tennis player. He traditionally represents Russia in international tennis events, including Grand Slams like Wimbledon
. However, due to the ongoing conflict involving Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and some tournaments have banned Russian players from competing under the Russian flag. At Wimbledon specifically, Russian and Belarusian players, including Medvedev, have been banned from participating altogether as a political decision by the tournament organizers. This means Medvedev is not playing for Russia at Wimbledon because he is currently banned from the event
. In other tournaments where Russian players are allowed, Medvedev competes as an individual without a national flag, due to restrictions imposed by tennis governing bodies in response to the geopolitical situation
. Summary:
- Medvedev is Russian and normally plays for Russia.
- At Wimbledon, he is banned from playing due to the tournament's ban on Russian players.
- In other tournaments, he competes without a country or flag because of ITF restrictions.
Therefore, at Wimbledon, Medvedev is not playing for any country because he is banned from the tournament as a Russian player
