Oliynykova Calls for Sanctions on Shnaider

Oliynykova defeated Shnaider 7-5, 6-1 at the French Open and has demanded the Russian player be sanctioned for playing in a Gazprom‑funded exhibition in Russia.

After her victory, Ukrainian player Oleksandra Oliynykova accused Russian Diana Shnaider of supporting the war by participating in a Gazprom‑sponsored event in Russia. Oliynykova said she wants sanctions imposed on Shnaider to stop what she sees as hypocritical behaviour by sporting bodies. sweetbonanza.qpon
