"The war is still here and this means that this issue is not closed": Lesia Tsurenko feels like Ukrainians not being heard by WTA
WTAFriday, 06 October 2023 at 00:00
Ukrainian tennis star Lesia Tsurenko has lambasted the WTA over their lack of response regarding the ongoing conflict with Russia.
Both European countries have been going through an armed conflict since February 2022 which has resulted in the loss of lives on both sides.
Tsurenko recently issued a long statement where she criticised the WTA for their lack of response regarding the conflict.
"The war is still here and this means that this issue is not closed. Our country did not choose this fate,” she said. “And we also did not choose this fate, that we have been in a state of constant arguing with the WTA and representatives of the aggressor countries for one and a half years. Indeed, starting from Roland Garros, people stopped asking me about the war.
And at Wimbledon I simply did not have a single press conference. Yes, there is a feeling that tennis is trying to hush up this topic as much as possible. This is purely my personal impression. As for me, I can say that I am making every effort to continue the fight, to clarify all the issues we have.”
She continued by saying: There are also some things going on, but due to the confidentiality policy, we cannot disclose details. I can assure everybody that we are fighting. They will not be able to put the war out of the picture. Regarding the flags, online promotion and social media pages.
“All of it has been discussed more than once. And, unfortunately, in most cases, we feel not being heard. This is very weird to me. Especially when it comes to flags. Because there have been plenty of examples, which clearly prove that they just can't get rid of them completely, because they were flags at the tournaments, at the draw ceremonies.”
