Anastasia Potapova gave a great surprise when she announced months ago that she was becoming Austrian, after always being proud of being Russian and not showing the slightest opposition to the war with Ukraine or empathy with the tennis players from that country. "I will always have my Russian roots, that no one can take away from me. My family is still there, and the country has been a fundamental part of my life. Now I am looking to adapt to Austria, and the process is going well," she said.

A tense situation unfolded after the conclusion of the WTA 500 Brisbane 2026 final, where Aryna Sabalenka defeated Marta Kostyuk. It is widely known that the Ukrainian player avoids greeting Russian and Belarusian players, prompting the organizers to clarify that there would be no joint photo session of the finalists with the trophies following the awards ceremony. Moreover, they did not exchange greetings after the match ended, although the world number 1 had kind words for the Ukrainian in her speech.

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?

The Gazprom company, key in the financial management of the war waged by Russia against Ukraine, is organizing an exhibition tournament on November 29 and 30 in St. Petersburg. The organizing team presents the event as a way to overcome international isolation and as a key to sports diplomacy. Vera Podguzova, the vice president of the bank working with the Russian Army and a direct relative of Putin, is in charge of the public relations for this exhibition tournament featuring players like Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Bublik, Karen Khachanov, Tallon Griekspoor, Anastasia Potapova, Diana Shnaider, and Veronika Kudermetova, as well as former players at the level of Youzhny or Tipsarevic.

Mirra Andreeva was asked up to two times about how she managed to continue competing without being able to represent her country and what her political and ideological stance is in the war that her country is waging with Ukraine. The young Russian was firm. "When I play tennis, I focus on that and don't think about anything else. I try to be better every day and enjoy my life. I can say that I am in favor of peace and hope that everything will be resolved soon," she explained.
