Kudermetova to remove Russian sponsor logo to play at Wimbledon
  + stars: | 2023-05-02 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
May 2 (Reuters) - Russia's Veronika Kudermetova said she will remove the logo of sanctioned Russian sponsor Tatneft from her kit so she can compete at Wimbledon this year. Wimbledon banned Russian and Belarusian players in 2022 over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine but said in March it would accept them as neutral athletes for this year's championships. Kudermetova's sponsor Tatneft, an oil and gas company, was sanctioned by the European Union last June. "I think for Wimbledon, it's not allowed to play with the badge from Russia, I know that," Kudermetova told reporters at the Madrid Open on Monday. "If I would like to play Wimbledon, I need to take the badge off," she added.

In only her sixth main draw appearance at a Grand Slam, the world number 113 is the first U.S. qualifier to reach the third round in women's singles at Melbourne Park since three-times major winner Lindsay Davenport in 1993. The 21-year-old she had the "chills" after grinding out the biggest victory of her career in her first match against a top-10 player. "Suddenly, you get match point and it's like 'wow I've got match point against the ninth seed'," Volynets said in her on-court interview. Volynets will next meet either China's Zhang Shuai or Croatian Petra Martic for a place in the fourth round.
