why is there no flag next to medvedev

The reason there is no flag next to Daniil Medvedev's name is that, due to the ongoing conflict involving Russia's invasion of Ukraine, international tennis organizations including the ITF, ATP, and WTA have ruled that Russian and Belarusian players can compete only as individuals without representing their countries with flags or national symbols. This policy, upheld at major tournaments such as the Australian Open and US Open, means Medvedev competes without the Russian flag beside his name. The decision aims to show condemnation of Russia’s actions while still allowing athletes to compete individually. Medvedev has expressed his desire for peace and continues playing under these restrictions as the only way to remain active in international tennis.
