Ukrainian tennis pro gives heartbreaking update as she admits to having 'nowhere to go'

Ukrainian tennis player Lesia Tsurenko has shared a heartbreaking message after admitting she has nowhere to go amid Russia's invasion of her country. The world No 135 has been on the road competing in Indian Wells and Miami before heading to a 125k event in Marbella but has no tournaments left in the near future and is unable to return to her home of Kyiv.

Tsurenko has been on the road since Ukraine was invaded by Russia, competing in Guadalajara at the end of February before moving onto the 'Sunshine Double' of Indian Wells and Miami. She failed to make it out of the qualifying event in the Californian desert, retiring at 3-3 in her second match agaisnt Kaja Juvan but reached the Miami Open main draw as a lucky loser, where she lost to Yulia Putintseva.

After losing a tight match to the Kazakh 7-5 in the fifth, it was back to Europe for the 32-year-old as she entered the WTA 125k event in Marbella. It was another early loss for Tsurenko as Oceane Dodin defeated her 6-4 7-6(5) in the first round on Tuesday, and the end of her difficult month playing matches while worrying about her home country.

It marks the end of Tsurenko's hard-court swing, with no tournament until the clay begins next month, but unlike most players the Ukrainian now has nowhere to go in her time away from the tennis tour with her home country currently in the midst of war after being invaded by Russia.
