Russian tennis star Andrey Rublev claims compatriot Daniil Medvedev was blocked from playing at the recent Laver Cup by the British government.
The competition took place at the O2 Arena last month as tennis legend Roger Federer bowed out from the sport in highly emotional scenes. Team Europe went on to lose the match to Team World 13-8, with Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal joining forces, alongside Stefanos Tsitsipas and Casper Rudd.
Medvedev was ranked No.2 in the ATP rankings at the time of the event but did not feature in London - although his compatriot Rublev claimed that he was invited to play.
