Medvedev and Rublev both publicly called for peace, while the ATP, WTA and ITF released a joint statement in which condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine and imposed certain sanctions on the Russian and Belarusian tennis federations.
"The important thing is that all players have spoken out against the war, both Rublev and Medvedev and other players who have declared a very clear position on what is happening in Ukraine... The point on which we all agree is that what is happening in Ukraine is not right.
I hope it can be resolved as soon as possible," Carreno Busta said, per We Love Tennis.
