MIAMI, April 1 — Twice Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova opposed the grasscourt Grand Slam’s decision to lift its ban on Russian and Belarusian players ahead of this year’s tournament, saying she felt for Ukrainians amid Moscow’s ongoing invasion of their country.
“I always state that I’m against the war. I’m just more worried about the Ukrainian people and players,” Kvitova said yesterday after her Miami Open semi-final win over Sorana Cirstea. “I appreciate that Wimbledon had a tough time last year not giving the points Belarusians and Russians didn’t play,” world number 12 Kvitova said.
