Sport Express reported that Ukrainian tennis player Marta Kostyuk and Belarusian Victoria Azarenka did not shake hands after the end of the meeting at the US Open-2022.
After the meeting, the tennis players exchanged only a touch of rackets instead of the traditional handshake.
According to Azarenka, she knew in advance that there would be no handshake. Before the meeting began, Kostyuk informed her that she would refuse to shake hands.
“To be honest, I was not surprised. At the same time, I do not think that this is a very important story,” Azarenka added.
Note that the meeting was held on September 1 and ended with Azarenka’s victory with a score of 6:2, 6:3.
