Eastern Europe is the most under-appreciated, and discriminated-against region, in sports (and beyond).

Tennis is just a reflection of that.

Women 1/4 Final of Roland Garros

3 Russians 🇷🇺

2 Ukrainians 🇺🇦

1 Belarus 🇧🇾

1 Romanian 🇷🇴

1 Polish 🇵🇱

More top tennis players come from Eastern Europe than any other place, and they are always labelled as not-marketable, bad personalities, etc.

4 Slams, 9 ATP 1000, 16 ATP 500, ATP Final

30 largest tournaments. ZERO held in Eastern Europe, despite it being a best producing region.

All of this is always viewed as normal and “logical”.
