Oliynykova criticizes war in Ukraine, Russian foe

Oleksandra Oliynykova has criticized the war in Ukraine and the Russian opposition she faced at Roland Garros. The off-court tension sits alongside Aryna Sabalenka's shock French Open defeat to Diana Shnaider, which has dominated the women's event. Sabalenka's loss ended another Slam title push and sparked heavy reaction, including comments from Venus Williams and criticism of her treatment at Roland Garros. The wider consequence is a draw reshaped by Sabalenka's exit and a spotlight on political and personal pressure in the women's game.
