The Ukrainian athlete commented on the situation that occurred during the match at Roland Garros.
Elina Svitolina thanked the Russian woman Daria Kasatkina for her position on the war in Ukraine.
It should be noted that the representative of the aggressor country from the first days condemned the full invasion of the Kremlin troops in our country.
“I am very grateful to her for the position she has taken. Yes, she is really a brave person who spoke publicly about what not many players did. She is brave,” Svetolina was quoted as saying at the asaptext press conference.
It will be remembered that Kasatkina and Svitolina did not shake hands after the match in the 1/8 finals of Roland Garros. After that, the audience in the stands booed the Russian tennis player.
