Organisers of the Australian Tennis Open have banned the display of Russian and Belarusian flags at the Australian Open Grand Slam following a courtside incident on Jan. 16.
Attendees could be seen displaying a Russian flag during a match between Ukraine’s Kateryna Baindl and Russia’s Kamilla Rakhimova in the first round on Court 14 prompting a response from Ukraine’s Ambassador to Australia Vasyl Myroshnychenko.
