“Back home there are lots of people cheering for me.” Elina Svitolina’s speech after defeating the “neutral” tennis player Victoria Azarenka from Belarus. She reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon with this victory.

1. I literally do not give a shit about tennis – but I HATE the fact that Wimbledon has let rvzzian/ belarvzzians compete – but this defiant speech made me so glad Elina won. She did it for Ukraine, and tbf, it was great to see a Belarvzzian loss (🤣). Glory to Ukraine and all its heroes – soldiers or sports heroes!

2. It is not just the people in Ukraine cheering for her. Every free country wants her to win even if their own player is next in line.

3. For what’s it worth; I do believe the “Neutral” player here is pretty much pro-Ukraine. She lives in America.

   However, IMO if you are Russian or Belarusian and want to not be scrutinized, you should pretty much get a tattoo of Zelensky across your entire back. Only way to be sure.

4. Go Elina !!!!! Love and respect from the 🇺🇸 and glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦💪✌👍💛💙
