Thanks, I guess that makes sense. Is it also kind of a cop out by the IOC? They have made a point of upholding the ban, but someone else can make the decision to let them compete anyway.

Given how little time they've had, I think it's the best compromise. The IOC doesn't want the political backlash and going back to the dark days of boycotts. Any Russian that's served a ban will not be allowed to compete - so that's the likes of swimmer Efidopa out. The ones that do compete will have to comply with further in and out of competition testing.

Back at ITF level in Lexington, Kentucky:
Laura Robson, top-seeded in qualifying, has won her first round match 6-3 6-2 against unranked Alexandra Facey. Would have been a disaster to have lost this one. Freya Christie, Katy Dunne, and Emily Webley-Smith are in action later. Harriet Dart has lost. Naomi Broady on court now in Montreal qualifying. |

I thought it was against the rules, for you to have your coach giving you advice during a match
