The Ukrainian tennis player Marta Kostyuk has criticized in connection with the Russian war of aggression that the WTA tour has not yet responded to a request for a clarifying exchange of views. She had suggested talking to her and other players from Ukraine about the difficult situation in their home country.
“We wanted a meeting with the WTA board and we didn’t get it. No answer, nothing, just silence,” said the 20-year-old during the Miami Open in the US state of Florida.

Kostyuk was disappointed that the 21-year-old only received a formal warning from the WTA: “I don’t agree with many things that the WTA does.”
