Sergiy Stakhovsky, the former Ukraine tennis star, has explained why he did not think twice about joining the Ukraine army and moving to the front line in Kyiv following Russia’s invasion of his homeland.
Stakhovsky, who famously knocked out Roger Federer at Wimbledon when ranked 116th in the world, retired from the sport in January after the Australian Open but any plans the 36-year-old had for his post-tennis career were put on hold following the Vladimir Putin-backed invasion of Ukraine.
