Victoria Azarenka, the former best tennis player in the world, will not play in the WTA 1,000 series tournament that is being held in Toronto because her application for an entry visa to Canada was rejected.
-” It is sad that I have to give up the performance at one of my favorite tournaments. I like to be in Canada, where there are great fans and where I have built many friendships,” said Azarenka.
For a long time now, Russian and Belarusian tennis players have not been able to play in most tournaments because of the invasion of Ukraine, however, as Victoria points out, she will play in Cincinnati, which will be held in mid-August.
