Tennis star Marta Kostyuk has hit out at her Russian and Belarusian peers who have refused to speak out on the conflict in her native Ukraine. The teenager is due to face Emma Raducanu in the last 32 of the Madrid Open today (Sunday afternoon).

Kostyuk was born in the same year as Raducanu and looks to have a bright future ahead of her as she rises through the ranks. In 2018, she became the youngest player to reach the third round of a Grand Slam in over two decades as she went on an unlikely run at the Australian Open.

The 19-year-old is going well in Madrid, having beaten Danish opponent Clara Tauson in straight sets to set up a clash with Raducanu. And Kostyuk is using her progress as a platform to discuss the widely-condemned conflict in Ukraine, which has prompted millions to flee the country and seek refuge.
