Russian tennis players received good news at the start of last month. The Paris Olympics organizers and respective communities allowed Russian and Belarusian players to participate in the upcoming Olympics, without a flag and any recognition of the country. 

In a recent interview, Olympics winner Andrey Rublev stated that he will leave his Olympics fate up to the supernatural, as he hopes to be fit for the all-important games. Via express Russian, the Russian spoke about the Paris Olympics, and whether he will be there for the games or not. 

The Olympics stated that only the Russians who have not taken sides in the ongoing war will be allowed to play. Rublev is one of the many who hasn’t said much to the public and is clear to play in the Paris Olympics.

Yes. If God willing, everything remains as it is today, and we can play, and everything will be fine with my health and physically, then with a very high degree of probability, I will go. In what categories? In solitary confinement for sure, I don’t know about others, because we haven’t discussed this with anyone yet,
said Andrey Rublev in the interview

The Russian struck big in his very first Olympics (2020). With a gold in the mixed doubles, he tried to replicate it in the singles as well but failed. This time around, he may not be playing under his country’s flag but nevertheless, will be looking to give his all.

Based on all my experience in my career, this is too much. Although if we take my behavior, then I am wrong and, of course, this is unacceptable,
said Andrey Rublev via Express.ru.
