Russian tennis player Natalia Vikhlyantseva said his decision to suspend his career is not linked to the political situation in the world.
– This has nothing to do with politics. The WTA allowed us to play, there wasn’t even a break at that point. In all the tournaments I have played, I have not encountered any violation of my rights, confrontations or other negative aspects.
In this regard, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the organizers, the WTA, the management and Steve Simon, who defended our rights and influenced the players who were against the participation of Russian tennis players in the competitions, quotes Metaratings. ru Vikhlyantseva. .
Vikhlyantseva is the winner of three ITF tournaments (two singles and one doubles). The 27-year-old’s highest position in the WTA rankings was 54th place, which she occupied in October 2017. The athlete was also a member of the Russian national team during the Fed Cup matches.
