Barbora Krejcikova donates Billie Jean King Cup funds to support earthquake-stricken Turkey

Barbora Krejcikova is making a heartfelt effort to bring attention to the ongoing and devastating effects of the earthquake in Turkey. The Czech WTA player has announced her decision to donate her Billie Jean King Cup funds to the affected regions, with a special focus on supporting tennis players who have lost nearly everything.

The 2021 French Open champion Krejcikova is currently in Antalya, playing the Billie Jean King Cup Qualifier against Ukraine, which is not being in the position to host the tie due to the ongoing war.

“Both Ukraine and Turkey are going through very difficult times,” Krejcikova wrote on social media.
