Ukrainian tennis player Lesya Tsurenko made an emotional statement on his social networks and accused his former president of the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Steve Simon of moral violence.
“Bitter, fear, panic attacks, humiliation, hiding information, hiding information, pursuit of my team to silence me … And this is not even a full list of what I have to bear,” he said.
Ukraine claims that Simon had a panic attack after discussing the issue of Russian and Belarus athletes due to their actions and then could not continue performance in the tournament. According to Tsurenko, the organization chose to protect the officer, not an athlete.
In 2022, he suspended the International Tennis Federation (ITF), Russian Tennis Federation and Belarus tennis. Athletes from these countries have the right to play only in neutral situations in WTA tournaments and tennis players (ATP) associations. At the same time, Russian and Belarus tennis players were removed from joining the Billy King Cup and Davis Cup.
