Ukrainian tennis player Sergei Stakhovsky spoke about his attitude towards those people who speak Russian.

This sportsman shared in an interview with TV channel 112. ua.

"When you go out on the court, you do not think about it. All that you have in your head is to successfully finish today's match. Although in 2014, when everything was just beginning, something worked out on my subconscious level, I think. And so on the court is now definitely not.

I still have an assessment immediately to the Russian-speaking - this is so. When I hear Russian speech, then at first. It's just that I would just strangle it, "Stakhovsky said..

Separately, the tennis player shared his opinion on the statement "Sport is out of politics".

"H * rnya is complete - sports and politics, and politics at the highest level".

Recall that his last match Stahovsky held on May 31, when in the second round of the French Open Roland Garros lost to the German Misha Zvereva.
