Ukrainian star Lesla Tsurenko has revealed she withdrew from her Indian Wells Masters clash against Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka due to suffering a panic attack.
Tsurenko was set to take on Sabalenka at the WTA Tour event in California, but was forced to pull out just before - handing her opponent a walkover into the round of 16. Initially, 'personal reasons' were cited for her absence from Sunday's match.
Since though Tsurenko has admitted she had a panic attack, which she claims came after a meeting with the WTA chief executive Steve Simon, as she went on to accuse the organisation of offering minimal support to Ukrainian players.
