Russian tennis player Vitalia Dyachenko was unable to fly from Egypt to the tournament in France due to the refusal of the Polish airline to serve a client with a Russian passport.

The Russian woman told about this in Instagram stories.

" Airline rules - ban Russians from flying with Lott Airlines! "

Dyachenko also added that she had letters of support from the WTA and her father, who was born in Ukraine and works for the UN. However, this did not convince the Polish airline, as a result of which the tennis player could not get into the tournament..

" Unfortunately, I do not have the opportunity to get to the tournament, as there is no route due to airlines that do not transport Russians. At the end of the day, I can't compete in the tournament and the only option is to go home and miss another game week because of this situation."
