Russia Ukraine War | Oldest tennis player, now a refugee in Poland, plays with former world number 2

A dream came true for 98 year-old Ukrainian refugee Leonid Stanislawski on Saturday.

He got a chance to play tennis with Poland's former world number two Agnieszka Radwanska at the Lubelski Tennis Club in Lublin.

Stanislawski is officially the oldest active tennis player in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records.

He escaped from his home city of Kharkiv due to the ongoing war in Ukraine with the help of his daughter Tatiana and made it over the Polish border.

When he turned 98 recently, Stanislawski expressed his wish that he would love to play tennis with Radwanska and the 33 year-old, who retired in 2018, jumped at the chance.

Their match reportedly ended in a 'fair draw' and Radwanska presented Stanislawski with one of her racquets and a photo album showing highlights of her career.

In the past, Stanislawski has been on court with some of the biggest names in the sport, including Rafael Nadal.
