oh wow Yastremaska asked the WTA to sanction Mirra Andreeva over some of her recent social media activity
Putin poking fun of Ukraine and Mirra Andreeva liking it on social induces angry Yastremska to demand WTA to sanction Russia's young star

Dayana Yastremska recently lost to 16-year-old prodigy MIrra Andreeva, but there was more to the easy defeat for the Ukrainian in Lausanne.
Yastremska released a statement asking the WTA to sanction Andreeva over posts which she shared earlier this week that were liked by the rising star.
These with the handle of Andreeva visible were jokes including President Vladimir Putin poking fun at Ukraine.
Shared also by Ukrainian Tennis BTU, they cited Yastremska's sister also recently spending the night in Odessa clutching her dog as bombs reigned down.
But despite these calls, she said her calls to sanction were denied by the WTA who said they would not intervene.
"I wanted to post about a recent situation in Switzerland which I find hardly acceptable," said Yastremska.
"The tennis instances are unfortunately remaining indifferent to the atrocities committed in Ukraine.
"Recently, I asked that sanctions to be taken against Mirra Andreeva for having liked social media posts which clearly concerned the atrocities committed to Ukrainians and the WTA simply indicated it would not intervene."
"I am upset but remain committed to fight for my country, my family and my friends in Ukraine."
"I would like to give special thanks to Switzerland and tournament organizers for their warm reception."
So Yastremska should *simply don’t mind* playing *just a kid* who likes among other things popular putin jokes Esp when Dayana's sister of the same age spent nights hiding from all the types of missiles Russia used to wipe out her hometown. Oh but sport can't be mixed yeah right

- On the subject of potential Losers in Tennis... Why is the tennis media avoiding the news that Giorgi and Family robbed their landlord in Florence? Apparently they did some Midnight Marketing and stole antique and collectible items belonging to the landlord's family (including large furniture and miscellaneous Family History items). The old guy and his mother just want their 'history' back, even though they are losing thousands of Euro's in 6 months of unpaid rent. This man makes it clear the father is the main player behind this sudden disappearance (and the tax dodging in Italy).
mandoist20-05-2024 - Seems like Emma is taking the Giorgi and Bouchard route -- using occasional Tennis as a media hit for their alternate ambitions (zooming sponsors, photo shoots, magazine covers, TV commercials, anti-Social Media postings, hiring photog's to make "informal" shots of her on vacation, etc., etc.) Hey, WTA! Hey, Sponsors! You're being played to the tune of millions of misspent Euros and Pounds!!mandoist20-05-2024
