Good luck Dayana Yastremska, the powerhouse Ukrainian tennis player who is the first qualifier to reach the Australian Open semi-finals in 46 years!
Dayana’s eight straight match wins have been thrilling and heart-stopping. We hope Dayana can continue her winning streak tonight!
You can watch the game on Channel 9 tonight after 7pm.
Congratulations to the seven female Ukrainian tennis players who have played in the 2024 Australian Open. Besides the unstoppable performance of Dayana, Elina Svitolina, Lesia Tsurenko and Marta Kostyuk made it to the third round of the tournament! A national record!
We also salute the way Dayana, Elina, Lesia and Marta have used their platform to remind the public about Russia’s war against Ukraine, their pride in the Ukrainian people and those fighting on the frontlines, and the role international sport plays in Russia’s attempts to detract what it is doing in Ukraine.
They are true sporting heroes!
