Dayana Yastremska, the Ukrainian tennis star, has been battling health issues since the Australian Open, but she is determined to perform at her best at Roland Garros. Despite her struggles, she has shown resilience and fighting spirit, winning tough matches in Madrid and Rome.
Yastremska's health problems began after the Australian Open, where she reached the semifinals as a qualifier. She believes the quick turnaround to her next event in Linz may have contributed to her weakened immune system. She retired from her match against Emma Raducanu at the BNP Paribas Open and has been battling throat pain, a blocked nose, and a cough throughout the clay-court season.
Despite her ailments, Yastremska has managed to win matches in Madrid and Rome, showing her determination and fighting spirit. She admitted to preferring quicker surfaces than clay, but she is embracing the challenge of improving her game on the terre battue.
Yastremska is also dealing with the emotional fallout of the Russian and Belarusian invasion into Ukraine. She has recorded a charity single, "Hearts," to raise awareness for those affected by the ongoing conflict.
Despite her health and emotional challenges, Yastremska is focused on performing well at Roland Garros. She is practicing as much as she can and is feeling better with each passing day. If she can stay healthy, she will likely have more to say in 2024.
