With a stirring rendition of Ukraine's national anthem, tears, flags, and Billie Jean King herself, the opening of the Billie Jean King Cup qualifier between the United States and Ukraine was hugely emotional.
Ukraine-born North Carolina resident Yuliia Kashirets gave a powerful rendition of her native land's national anthem, as the Ukraine team, including Odesa-born world number 93 Dayana Yastremska draped herself in a Ukrainian flag, and a tear rolled down her team mate Katarina Zavatska's cheek.
The ceremony also included a moment of silence for the “people of Ukraine”. The winner of the qualifier will advance to the tournament finals in November.
