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
WTAFriday, 28 July 2023 at 09:25
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

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
