Ukrainian Leonid Stanislavskyi, the world’s oldest tennis player, said Monday he’s hoping to survive Russia’s invasion of his home country.
The world's oldest tennis player, Ukrainian Leonid Stanislavskyi, 97, takes part in an award ceremony of the Guinness World Record certificate in Kharkiv, Ukraine, July 7, 2021.
He said his sister is in Poland and pleaded with him to leave Ukraine, but he has no intentions to do that."I never thought that I would have to live through another, more frightening war where people from both sides are dying -- mothers are losing their children, wives are losing their sons and their husbands," said Stanislavskyi, who helped build military planes for the Soviet Union in World War II to fight the Nazis.
