PARIS, April 4 — Ukrainian players do not get enough support from women’s tennis governing body WTA amid Russia’s invasion of their country, Elina Svitolina said today.
“We are afraid, we feel empty. What is happening to Lesia is very sad. People who haven’t experienced it can’t really understand what it feels like to have no home, to feel safe nowhere, to have family in Ukraine, under the bombs, to know that Ukrainian cities are being destroyed. It’s both fear and a great emptiness,” Svitolina, who was the world number 20 when she took a break from the tour to give birth, told French sports daily l’Equipe.
The WTA, along with men’s body ATP, welcomed Wimbledon organisers’ decision to lift a ban on Russian and Belarusian players last Friday, allowing them to compete in the grasscourt Grand Slam this year as “neutral” athletes.
