Russian Olympic Committee
The acronym COR stands for Russian athletes because the country was punished for a doping scheme involving the Sochi Winter Games (2014). The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) penalty that reached the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS) is valid until 2022. In addition to a neutral flag with the country's colors and the Olympic rings, in Tokyo 2020 the anthem is replaced by an excerpt from a piano concerto that Piotr Ilitch Tchaikovsky composed in 1874. This is not the first time Russia has entered the Olympic Games under a different name, as in Seoul 1988 it was the Soviet Union (USSR) and Barcelona 1992 it was called the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
Where will the game be played?
The match will be played at the Ariake Tennis Park. There are three matches left to conclude the tennis tournament of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The first one starts at 2 am ET and soon after comes the Zverev x Khachanov duel.
