Un tennista ucraino il cui padre difende il Paese lancia un messaggio silenzioso agli Australian Open.

Oleksandra Oliynykova drew attention after her Australian Open loss to defending champion Madison Keys by wearing a T-shirt reading, “I need your help to protect Ukrainian women and children but I can’t talk about it here.” The Ukrainian player, whose father serves in the army, made the silent appeal at a post-match news conference, as Grand Slam rules restrict “political statements” at tournament venues.
