Daria Saville asks the “Tennis World” to amplify a message

Saville’s post contains a screenshot of what looks like a direct message by Iryna, mother of Mariia, a junior tennis player from Ukraine. She shed light upon what is happening on ground in Ukraine, and asked tennis facilities across the world for assistance. Saville did her bit by posting it on social media and asking for assistance by spreading the word in the hope of finding a right connection.

Iryna pointed out the infrastructural damage in her message and requested for temporary accommodations and training possibilities for junior players like her daughter.

“The bombs and rockets are hitting our houses, killing our people destroying my life. My hometown as well as other Ukrainian cities is under periodical bombings. A lot of buildings and facilities are destroyed. I would like to ask you about the opportunity to get temporary free accommodation and training possibilities in any Tennis academy for my daughter and other junior tennis players from Ukraine,” she said.

She ended her message by adding a heartfelt request to protect them from the realities and not hamper their hopes and dreams. “Please help to save our children.” Here is hoping that everything settles down soon.
