ITF Rejects Appeals from Aljaz Bedene and Maxim Dubarenco, Approves Daria Gavrilova

March 23, 2016 By Tennis Panorama News

(March 23, 2016) The International Tennis Federation rejected appeals from Aljaz Bedene and Maxim Dubarenco to play Davis Cup.

Moldovan-born Dubarenco was appealing to play for Belarus, while the Slovenian-born Bedene was hoping to be able to compete for Great Britain.

The No. 57th player in the world Bedene became a British Citizen in 2015.

Great Britain’s Lawn Tennis Association was unhappy with the decision. This is their official statement:

Following Sunday’s ITF Board meeting in Moldova, Aljaz Bedene’s appeal against a decision to deny him eligibility to represent Great Britain in the Davis Cup, was unsuccessful.

 

Michael Downey LTA Chief Executive said: “We are very disappointed for Aljaz and with the outcome of the appeal hearing on Sunday. The LTA has fully supported him in his endeavour to represent the country he rightfully and proudly calls home. In terms of next steps, we will consider the options and continue to consult with Aljaz.”

 

Aljaz Bedene said: “Of course I am very sad with today’s result and that it has not gone the way I had hoped. I would like to thank all the fans, my team and the LTA for continuing to support me all the way. I will have to assess my situation now before I decide on what steps to take next.”

 

The ITF did approve the appeal of Russian -born Daria Gavrilova to play Fed Cup for Australia. She changed her nationality in 2015.

 

Here is the official release from the ITF:
