She also said in a recent interview that she sees Russian people as "Objects. People on a purely biological level."
So, again, it will be interesting to see how the WTA and US media talks about her now that she'll be playing the WTA Tour much more consistently. Personally, I find her fascinating.

For context, she will be a polarizing figure once US media realizes she exists. The WTA had to force her to take a patch off her kit in 2024 that advertised the charity she supports which purchases armed drones for the Ukrainian military. Her father is actively serving in that military. (1/2)

Alexander Zverev wins 6-3, 7⁸-6⁶ against Ben Shelton
Wins the last 5 points after Shelton had 3 set points, 2 on his serve. Zverev let out a huge roar, he seemed very nervous late in that tiebreak, got a few key errors from Ben, but a win is a win.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

It's All Paying Off
I've been kind of obsessed with Oleksandra Oliynikova's meteoric rise all year.
Now, after years of leveraging crypto, crowd funding, and even selling a patch of skin on her arm as an NFT, the Ukrainian is closing in much bigger (and more consistent) paydays inside the top 100.
