Athletistic / Tennis. Russian tennis player Daria Kasatkina has commented on the incident during her Roland Garros Round of 16 match with Ukrainian Elina Svitolina. After the end of the meeting, which ended in victory for the Ukrainian, the rivals did not shake hands, but Kasatkina gave a thumbs up. The audience finally booed the Russian woman.

Kasatkina admitted that she was upset by this behavior from fans.

“I leave Paris with a very bitter feeling. All these days after every game, I was grateful to the fans for their support. But yesterday they booed me just because I respected the opponent’s desire to don’t shake my hand.

Elina and I showed respect after a tough game. But leaving the court like that was the worst part of the day. Be better, love each other, don’t incite hatred. Try to make the world a better place,” Kasatkina wrote on social media.
