Oliynykova demands sanctions for Russian opponent

Oleksandra Oliynykova has demanded sanctions against Russian tennis player Diana Shnaider following her participation in a Gazprom-funded exhibition in Russia.

The Ukrainian player, who defeated Shnaider 7-5, 6-1 at the French Open, criticized the sport's governing bodies as "hypocritical" for not taking action against her Russian opponent. betsport24.es

"She doesn't want to comment on the war, because if she says her opinion, it would be a very big scandal, but I showed you the proof," Oliynykova said. "I want to stop the tour being so hypocritical by pretending they cannot do anything, because they have the mechanism."
