Ukraine's Elina Svitolina accused Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka of encouraging
French Open fans to boo her by waiting at the net for a handshake following
their tense quarter-final. Svitolina has not shaken hands with Russian
opponents since Ukraine was invaded with support from Belarus. Before her
loss to Sabalenka, Svitolina made clear she would again avoid it.
On the first day at Roland Garros, Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk was booed for
refusing to shake hands with Belarusian opponent Aryna Sabalenka in protest
over the ongoing war in her country.
