Belarusian Sabalenka must wait for flag to return in tennis
•Yahoo Sports
Women's world tennis number one Aryna Sabalenka must wait for her Belarusian flag to return to the tour despite a decision by the International Olympic Committee to end the country's punishment for its involvement in the Ukraine war. The International Tennis Federation announced on Friday that its rules banning Belarusian national symbols would remain until the third quarter of the year at least. A big meeting in October will decide on the next steps.
Russia is still banned by the IOC from displaying its symbols in competition, with anti-doping problems also part of the reason for sporting sanctions.
