Athletistic/Tennis. At a press conference after Angelina Kalinina beat Russian tennis player Veronika Kudermetova in the semi-final match of the WTA-1000 tournament in Rome, she was asked why she didn’t shake hands with his opponent at the end of the match.
“We didn’t shake hands because she’s Russian. Yes, I realize it’s a sport, but it also has a political aspect. So, yes, it’s nothing personal here. But in general, such behavior is unacceptable in this situation, “- said Kalinina.
It should be noted that after the end of the game, Kalinina immediately shook hands with the judge, then went to her half of the field to the bench where her belongings were.
- Kudermetova answered the question about the relationship with Ukrainian tennis player Kalinina
