KOSTIUK: “There is tension in the locker room, we are not friends, we are at war”
Ukrainian tennis player Martha Kostyuk After losing to Anastasia Potapova in the 1/32th final match of the WTA 1000 series tournament held in Miami (USA), he made a statement to reporters:
After the scandalous meeting between Lesya Tsurenko and Steve Simon, on the response of the Ukrainian players to the meeting request of the WTA
– Yes, we wanted to meet with the WTA Board of Directors, but we couldn’t. No response from WTA, nothing, just silence. What did we want to talk about? I do not want to discuss the issues that we want to raise at this meeting. I don’t think it’s a good idea to talk about it until the meeting takes place.
Upon WTA’s warning to Anastasia Potapova for wearing the Moscow jersey “Spartacus» For a game at Indian Wells
– There are many things that I do not agree with in the actions of the WTA. But it won’t change anything. I’m just going to get more hate online. No matter what I say, I’ll get more hate. I don’t know Warning, whatever. Give him a warning… You can push someone away, I don’t know. I can’t comment on that, it’s just ridiculous.
About the words of Arina Sobolenko that she met with hatred in the locker room
-I may not be able to say hello to some players, but I didn’t approach anyone, I didn’t talk to anyone. Maybe it’s believed that I sow hate just by being in the locker room. I don’t know what people are thinking. There’s obviously tension, we’re not friends, we’re at war right now.
How you distract yourself from thoughts of war during the match
– Depends on the day. I never know what will happen. I can think what I want to think, I can do what I can, but I never know what awaits me the moment I step onto the field. I try to read the news as little as possible. I think avoiding any news is good for your health, because most of the news I’ve heard over the past year is terrible.
