Dayana Yastremska is among the players that had to rush back home to Europe before the ban for the flights from and to Europe will kick-in. According to the Ukrainian sensation, she had just 15 minutes to pack her things and catch a last-minute flight to get back home.
She wrote on Instagram:
“We got a call and they said Florida planing to close all flights to Ukraine and not only from tomorrow or after tomorrow for a pretty while ! !!We got 15 min to pack bags and now on the way to the airport ! Later will show a small video about packing the bag and it’s just so crazy how fast our plans are changing”
Other top players such as Novak Djokovic, Elina Svitolina and Gael Monfils decided to rush back to Europe. Rafael Nadal took this decision soon after the cancellation of Indian Wells.
The ITF and the WTA suspended their activities for 5 weeks while the ATP halted its events for 6 weeks. The activities of the top tournaments should resume in Europe. In theory.
