Tennis stopper has to go through the dust after half-naked photos that skin …

by

Dayana Yastremska will probably think twice next time before making another statement on her social media. The Ukrainian number 25 on the WTA rankings recently had to apologize for some photos that fell badly because of the reference, according to the comments, to ‘blackface’ or Zwarte Piet.

20-year-old Yastremska is one of the biggest talents in the women’s circuit. She has been a fixture in the top 30 since 2019 and has already won three tournaments. In terms of prize money, she also quietly creeps towards 2 million.

In addition, Yastremska is quite popular on Instagram, where she has over 74,000 followers. And she is a woman with an opinion. After the turmoil surrounding the Adria Tour, where several players became infected with the corona virus, she defended organizer Novak Djokovic rather fiercely. “If I had the chance to organize such a tournament, I would not hesitate for a second,” she wrote on social media at the time.

❗️❗️❗️CONCLUSION OF THE STATEMENT IS IN THE COMMENTS❗️❗️❗️ When you are famous, when you compete at the top level, the eyes of a thousand are inevitably chained to you. The first one has to accept the role of the ambassador of a sort, while he becomes a role model for many. It doesn’t matter if you play at side court or in the central arena – as a tennis player, you always try to show the best you can and share the emotions with your team and other people around you. Tennis is an incredible sport, with a long history and unique culture. Things that are happening in the world this year are unthinkable and are undoubtfully a massive blow to our favorite sport. Every tennis player had their plans, aspirations, and goals for this year. Now, and I am sure about that, every one of us has only these questions in the head. These questions are: “When we start playing and giving people joy and inspiration?” and “When we will finally start to do our favorite thing?”. I am afflicted and upset by the situation that has emerged around the organization of the “Adria Tour” tournament in Serbia. The organizers and players of the event found themselves under tremendous pressure. It is somehow even getting out of sight that this competition was held in compliance with country’s norms and regulations. If I had an opportunity to host the same kind of tournament, I would not hesitate a second. I am the head and organizer of “Diya” Charity Foundation that directly helped people at the course of the pandemic. I also created a clip to educate people about a virus. I know that this threat is severe and invisible, which makes it dangerous. However, I am also perfectly aware that we live in the age of liberty when everyone can make their own decisions and can become whoever he wants. I would not be a tennis player today if this freedom did not occur twenty-nine years ago in my country. It is this freedom and independence that demands that everyone should be responsible for themselves and their actions. It means that everyone has a right of choice and personal responsibility. In that situation, anyone could get infected.

There was already a lot of criticism, but that was nothing compared to the storm of negative reactions that her photo shoot for “equality” brought with it. Yastremska painted half of her face and body black and then put some pictures on her social media.
