"Nobody expected such an absurdity." At the prestigious tennis tournament in the United States in the match of the Russians there was a scandal through the Ukrainian flag - video

During the qualification of the prestigious tennis tournament in Cincinnati (USA) between the Russians Anna Kalinskaya and Anastasia Potapova, a scandal through the Ukrainian flag occurred. According to Twitter journalist Ben Rothenberg, one of the fans came to the stadium with the Ukrainian flag. However, one of the Russian tennis players complained to the judge. Video day later the fan was asked to remove the Ukrainian flag or leave the stadium.

In case of refusal to do so, the woman was threatened with police call. The fans were informed that the size of its flag violates the rules of the tournament because it is too large. The woman even thought to cut the blue and yellow canvas to the right proportions, but still agreed to bring him to the car. Later, one of the best tennis players of Ukraine Marta Kostyuk responded to the incident. In an interview with BTU, she said, “I have a lot about this situation.

It just does not fit in the head, as it might have happened. WTA very strongly protects Russian and Belarusian athletes: they say that none of them support Russia and all of them are well. But, as we can see, they have a trigger point - it is a Ukrainian flag. And the fact that for us a trigger is Russians and Belarusians who support Russia, it is no longer interested in anyone. That is, our requests to do something are completely ignored.
