Police authorities in Czech stopped a Russian tennis player from entering the country ahead of the WTA Prague Open tournament, organisers said on Friday. A new government resolution passed in the country has effectively banned athletes from Russia or Belarus causing the event to scratch other competitors. Tournament organisers informed other Russian and Belarusian nationals not to travel for the tournament after the incident.
