Since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia began, ATP and WTA joined forces to take joint measures to penalize the actions of the country led by Putin. Those measures lasted a few chapters, but one of the few gestures, more symbolic than anything else, that both circuits maintained was not displaying the Russian flag on the screen. Well, it seems that this has changed. For the first time in almost four years, the Russian flag reappeared in the WTA graphics, specifically in the match between Selekhmetova and Parks at the WTA in Austin. Will this be temporary or will we see flags next to names like Mirra Andreeva or Daria Shnaider again in Indian Wells?
