Sabalenka finally spoke out about the war. And then again the same song Tennis

Aryna Sabalenka (2nd WTA) is having a very successful season. She won the tournament in Adelaide and the Australian Open, and also advanced to the final of the competition in Indian Wells. Now she is going to compete in Stuttgart, where she will be one of the favorites to win.

Aryna Sabalenka spoke about the war in Ukraine. “It’s not up to me”

The Belarusian tennis player causes a lot of controversy outside the court. In the past, she appeared several times in the company of Alexander Lukashenko, and also spoke out against the sanctions imposed on Russian and Belarusian players after the invasion of Ukraine. She spoke rarely and reluctantly about the armed conflict itself.

Now Sabalenka spoke on this topic at a press conference. She admitted that she was aware that many people did not like her. – Many of them look at me strangely, probably some of them hate me. I have done nothing wrong to Ukraine. Some people don’t like me just because I was born in Belarus, as if it was a decision I had an influence on. It’s not the best feeling,” she said, quoted by tennisuptodate.com.

The competitor is aware that she cannot count on the sympathy of the Ukrainians. “If they feel better for hating me, then I’m happy to help them do that.” They can do that. But if I could stop the war I would, but unfortunately it’s not up to me and I can’t control it,” she explained.

The tennis player was also asked about her connection to Lukashenko. She replied that she was not related to politics and had no influence on the actions of the President of Belarus. – I’m sure it doesn’t help. I don’t know what to say because he can comment on my game. Again, I have nothing to do with politics. I’m just an athlete from Belarus, I’m just trying to give my best and focus on myself – she announced.
