Russia’s Anastasia Potapova has been reprimanded by the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) after she walked out for a match at Indian Wells wearing a Russian soccer jersey.
The World No. 28 walked onto the court for her match with Jessica Pegula on Monday wearing an FC Spartak Moscow shirt, in support of the successful team that plays in the Russian Premier League.
“To be honest, I was surprised,” said Swiatek, who still wears a blue and yellow ribbon on her cap in honor of Ukraine in every match she plays. “It was not clear how to approach everything, which causes such unpleasant situations. I think if there had been better leadership from the beginning, maybe we would have avoided such situations.”
Tsurenko told Ukrainian media she had a “panic attack” and “mental breakdown” after a discussion with WTA chief Steve Simon, in which she claims the tour boss said players from Russia and Belarus would be allowed to compete at the Paris Olympics.
