it sure helps when the Russians-Belarussians cant play in WimbledonThe post-Wimbledon clay tournaments are looking good this year!
No her first win was in Palermo, which is the same week as this one, so it's a rather odd choice.DRC of course won two events at this time last year, so has quite a few points to defend.
Not exactly sure if this was one of them.
Poor Palermo. I’m sure they would have loved to have Danyell back to defend her title.No her first win was in Palermo, which is the same week as this one, so it's a rather odd choice.
I doubt she is planning her WHOLE schedule or life around not having any kind of interface with Russian players.Not sure what Kostyuk is doing here with 5 Russian/Belarussians already in the MD. In Palermo, there are 0 for comparison. Why did she choose to go here if the war is so important to her and she wants Russians not able to be allowed to play? With 5, there is a high chance she will draw one of them eventually, and the last time she played one she left the court mid-match when things weren't going her way.
She acts like she is whenever it's convenient for her to get attention though....I doubt she is planning her WHOLE schedule or life around not having any kind of interface with Russian players.
