The first racket of the world continues to support Ukraine
The first racket of the world and the winner of Roland Garros-2023 Iga Schwentek once again supported Ukraine. She noted that the tennis community must help stop Russian aggression.
“I can just repeat my words and my opinion that we, the tennis community, should be together and do everything possible to stop Russian aggression,” Iga said.
“I support all Ukrainians because I know that their situation is not easy. If I were in their place, I don’t know if I could compete, to be honest. So I have a lot of respect for them and I want to focus on doing what’s right for them.”
Sventek in the final of Roland Garros-2023 beat Czech Karolina Muchova – 6:2, 5:7, 6:4. Iga won the French Open for the third time in her career.
Early on the morning of February 24, 2022, Russia launched rocket and air strikes on most Ukrainian cities and then launched a full-scale military invasion. The war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has been going on for the 472nd day.
