Novak shows his great humanity, he would never want any talented young players from any part of the world to be forced out of tournaments. As of record, Daniil Medvedev reached the 4th round of Wimbledon last year. While the Belarusian women’s world no. 4 Aryna Sabalenka was a semi-finalist the same year.

She is never against any Russian and Belarusian player competing if they speak out about the war.
