russian woman Daria Kasatkina commented on the unpleasant incident with the fans at Roland Garros and admitted that due to the boos from the stands, she is leaving the tournament with a bitter feeling.
The day before, Kasatkina had lost to Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina in the fourth round of Roland-Garros. The athletes did not shake hands, but thumbs up. At the same time, the Russian left the court at the whistle of the stands.
I leave Paris with a very bitter feeling. All these days, after each match in Paris, I thanked the public for their support, and that they were there. But yesterday I was booed just for showing respect for my opponent’s stance of not shaking my hand. Elina and I showed respect after a difficult game, leaving the court in such conditions was the worst moment yesterday.
Improve and love each other, don’t spread hate. Try to make this world a better place. I will love Roland Garros no matter what. See you next year, Kasatkina wrote on social media.
Svitolina will play with Belarusian tennis player Arina Sobolenko in the quarterfinals.
