The Board of Management of the European Tennis Federation has unanimously decided to suspend all Tennis Europe Junior Tour events due to be held in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine until further notice.
The safety and well-being of junior players, officials, and all persons attending our events is of paramount importance. Given the rapidly changing security situation and travel restrictions, international tennis events in these nations are currently not feasible.
The decision has been taken in alignment with the sport’s governing body, the International Tennis Federation. Tennis Europe regrets that it is necessary to implement these measures as all three nations are valued members of the European tennis family.
Tennis Europe also urges the international tennis community to show solidarity to players from the nations concerned, none of whom should be punished or blamed for the actions taken by the regimes in their home nations.
