Ukrainian tennis player Dayana Yastremska has fled her war-torn country with her younger sister to seek safety in France, and is still planning on taking part in the Lyon Open which kicks off on February 28.
The 21-year-old lived in Odessa with her parents and her sister but
once the port city started to be targeted as ships were hit with
missiles, Yastremska’s parents helped their children flee from the
country. She announced via an Instagram story on Saturday that she was safe in Romania, on her way to France.
“Tired, but my sister and I are safe. Thank you France, Ukraine stay strong, we miss you home, Mum and Dad.”
The Lyon Open starts on February 28 and finishes on March 6.
