Lesia Tsurenko's Legal Battle Against WTA for 'Moral Abuse'
Lesia Tsurenko plans legal action against WTA over alleged moral abuse.




Lesia Tsurenko, a 35-year-old Ukrainian tennis player, has decided to take legal action against the Women's Tennis Association (WTA). She claims to have suffered from panic attacks due to the tour's decision to protect an unnamed senior official who attacked her. Tsurenko says she sought protection and justice within the WTA but faced indifference and injustice. The WTA has expressed disappointment in her decision but claims to have acted appropriately. Tsurenko, ranked 239th in the world, has faced numerous challenges, including after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
