Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina says she has been suffering sleepless nights following the Russian invasion of her home country as she worries about her family and friends back home, describing what has happened as a"horrible time for all Ukrainians."
The 27-year-old, who was in Monterrey, Mexico, for a tournament, said on Sunday that she is terrified for her own family who remain in the war-stricken country, taking refuge in the southern city of Odessa."I haven't been sleeping much, trying to see what is happening, how we can help and what we can do," she told CNN Sport."This has been the worst time of my life because I have my parents, my friends, my Ukrainian people who are fighting there for our country.
Call for changeSvitolina wants the sporting world to reconsider its influence and in particular what governing bodies can do in light of the conflict. Following CNN's interview with Svitolina, she said she would not play her upcoming match at the Monterrey Open because she refuses to play any Russian or Belarusian players unless they compete as neutral athletes. Svitolina was scheduled to face Russian Anastasia Potapova in the opening round on Tuesday.
