Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina said she would not play her round of 32 match against Russia's Anastasia Potapova in the Monterrey Open unless tennis governing bodies followed the recommendations made by the International Olympic Committee. The IOC's executive said on Frida that Russian and Belarusian national flags should not be displayed at international sports events following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
