I see from the acceptance lists that Phoenix and Ella are both listed for a J1 in Russia next week - be surprised if that happened now?
Sorry, I'm being dense, why might that not happen now?
Assuming it's tennis in Russia that must be in doubt
Sorry, yes, wasnt clear - not sure I would be inclined to travel there as a Westerner right now, or in that region by air, but not sure whether the ITF may pull it anyway?
As you foresaw, Jon, Ella has now withdrawn, with PFLWMD (Post-Freeze Late Withdrawal Main Draw) 24/02/22
Quite right
And with British flights banned into Russia, and Aeroflot flights banned into the UK, I think the others will only be a matter of time before they withdraw too (not to mention ethical issues)

Good effort by Isabelle giving the top seed her toughest test so far (incidentally the rise of Czech junior players is mirrored in a Czech girl Lucie Havlickova reaching the final of the year's first non Grand Slam Grade A in Brazil this week)
