Melbourne: Ukraine's Oleksandra Oliynykova lost to reigning champion Madison Keys on Tuesday at the Australian Open but said making her soldier father's dream come true was more important than the result.
The 92nd-ranked player gave Keys an almighty fright on Rod Laver Arena before heroically losing 7-6 (8/6), 6-1 in the biggest match of her life.
The 25-year-old, who sported temporary tattoos on her face, wore a white T-shirt to her post-match press conference referencing the plight of her homeland.
"I need your help to protect Ukrainian children and women," it said.
"But I can't talk about it here."
