Aryna Sabalenka has reiterated her desire for peace, after Ukrainian player Oleksandra Oliynykova took aim at the women\u2019s world No.1 for the second time this week.<\/p>\n

Oliynykova, the player who hit out at Sabalenka and other Belarusian and Russian players earlier this week<\/a>, claiming they should be banned by the sport because of their countries of origin, criticised Sabalenka again<\/a> overnight after fashion house Gucci announced their collaboration with her this week.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian world No.92 took to social media to comment on the announcement just before Sabalenka\u2019s fourth-round match on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cA supporter of a bloody dictator becomes an ambassador for a top brand … what is wrong with this world,\u201d Oliynykova posted on her Instagram story.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd at what point did people start valuing powerful serves and forehands over ruined lives?\u201d<\/p>\n

Sabalenka reinforced earlier comments she had made at the tournament, that she wanted peace, following her straight-sets victory over Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko.<\/p>\n

\u201cI respect that everyone is allowed to have their opinion and use their platforms,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been clear before that I\u2019m pro-peace. Nothing hasn\u2019t changed. That\u2019s all I can say about that.\u201d <\/p>\n

Belarusian Sabalenka has previously repeatedly said that she didn\u2019t support the Russian invasion of Ukraine or Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, and that she only wanted peace in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

This masthead is not suggesting Oliynykova\u2019s claims are true, only that they have been made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aryna Sabalenka has reiterated her desire for peace, after Ukrainian player Oleksandra Oliynykova took aim at the women\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":435817,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,85,747],"class_list":{"0":"post-435816","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=435816"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435816\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/435817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=435816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=435816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
