Elina did not shake hands with the Belarusian after the match of the 1/4 finals of Roland Garros
Elina Svitolina told why she refused to shake hands with Arina Sobolenko after the 1/4 final match Roland Garros. Also, the Ukrainian tennis player reacted to the whistle of the fans in her address.
“I don’t know why Sobolenko was waiting for me at the net. I think I have made my position clear enough. Did she inflame the situation in the stands with this? Unfortunately, I think so,” Svitolina said.
“I don’t pay much attention to it. [свист болельщиков] attention. I’m not a dollar to please everyone. I have my position and I stick to it. I’m not going to sell out my country for the sympathy of the people.”
Svitolina lost to Sobolenko in two sets – 4:6, 4:6. The current quarter-final was the fourth for the Ukrainian in her career at Roland Garros.
