A family from eastern Ukraine fled the war in their home country and now calls Novato home.
The war in the Ukraine has completely turned the Shostakovich family’s life upside down. Eleven-year-old Ira is even separated now from her father but the one thing that hasn’t changed is her love for tennis.
“A big thanks to everybody. Yes, thank you to my academy, my coach — it was amazing!” George and Ira Shostakovich said. “It’s an international language. The values that tennis gives and the way they understand each other — with just a look on the court — is unbelievable,” said Ira’s coach Jose Hilla with HRT Academia de Tennis.
