20-year-old Ukrainian tennis player, winner of the Australian Open 2017, Marta Kostyuk, refused to shake hands with 33-year-old rival from Belarus, Olympic champion in 2012 in the mixed doubles with Maxim Mirny Victoria Azarenka.

The incident occurred after the US Open match, during which Azarenka won with a score of 6:2, 6:3 and advanced to the third round.

The girls just just touched their rackets instead of shaking hands.

It should be noted that Russian and Belarusian athletes compete without a national flag.
