The first racket of Ukraine among juniors, Mykyta Bilozercev, refused to give an interview in Ukrainian after his defeat in the doubles at the Junior Wimbledon. A scandal occurred during the press conference after the match, during which he stated that he was only willing to speak in English and Russian.
Mykyta Bilozercev's coach is Bulgarian specialist Stefan Pantov, who also holds an important position in Bulgaria. This may be related to the athlete's plans to change his citizenship to Bulgarian. Despite his strength and potential, Bilozercev finished his participation in Wimbledon without victories in doubles, losing the opportunity for development and participation in major tournaments.
The conflict surrounding Mykyta Bilozercev's refusal to speak Ukrainian after his defeat at Wimbledon has caused outrage among the Ukrainian sports community and has become the subject of widespread discussion in the media. Ukrainian supporters and critics of the athlete share their thoughts on his actions and the future of Ukrainian sports.Read also
