  • T-shirt for Ukraine: a player's heartfelt tribute to her country and her dad at the Australian Open

    With a very offbeat style of play and even more unique body art, Oleksandra Oliynykova stood out after her Australian Open loss on Tuesday to defending champion Madision Keys. On the T-shirt that Oliynykova wore at a post-match news conference, the daughter of a Ukrainian army soldier had emblazoned the message: “I need your help to protect Ukrainian women and children but I can’t talk about it here." Grand Slam guidelines deter players from using competition venues to make political statements.
