Ukrainian Tennis Player Marta Kostyuk, Receives Standing Ovation After Emotional Speech At The Final Of The WTA Tournament In Brisbane.

Marta Kostyuk: “I want to say a few words about Ukraine. I play every day with pain in my heart. In Ukraine, thousands of people are without electricity and warm water right now. It’s minus 20 degrees outside, and it’s very, very painful to live in this reality every day.

“You know, it’s very hot here in Brisbane, so it’s difficult to imagine. But my sister is sleeping under three blankets because it’s so cold at home.

“I was incredibly moved and happy to see so many Ukrainian fans here this week. Thank you so much, everyone.

“Slava Ukraini!”
