Two Ukrainian women tennis players aimed a swing at the WTA on Monday when they criticised the organisation for not taking a position on the Russian invasion of their country. Marta Kostyuk, ranked 54th in the world, and Lesia Tsurenko, a former top-25 player now ranked 127, both posted a letter on social media expressing "our great surprise and dissatisfaction with the lack of any response with the situation in our Motherland".
Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina said she would not play her round of 32 match against Russia's Anastasia Potapova in the Monterrey Open unless tennis' governing bodies followed the recommendations made by the International Olympic Committee.

«Me llevo muy bien con todas las compañeras del circuito, pero en la pista no tengo amigas, sé cómo separar las dos cosas». Lo dijo cuando le preguntaron por su enfrentamiento contra Marta Kostyuk, ucraniana de 19 años y 66ª del mundo con la que mantiene una buena relación. De hecho, el año pasado, se apoyaron mutuamente durante el largo confinamiento en Melbourne, cuando ambas resultaron contagiadas por la COVID. Este viernes, la española demostró que no mentía al hacer esa afirmación y pudo con su colega: 6-2, 5-7 y 6-4 en 2h19. De ese modo, se metió por primera vez en los octavos de final del torneo y el domingo se enfrentará a la estadounidense Madison Keys o a la china Qiang Wang. «Estoy supermotivada y emocionada por estar en la ‘segunda semana’ del torneo y creo que estoy jugando muy bien», comentó antes de llevarse una gran ovación.
