Earlier, Svitolina said she would not shake hands with Russians and Belarusians amid the political situation. Nevertheless, Sobolenko approached the net, waiting for her opponent there.
“Did Sobolenko make it worse by going to the net? Unfortunately, yes, I think that’s the case.

What did you think when you saw her at the net? The first reaction is what are you doing? (smile). Because at each press conference, I make my position clear. She may not be on social media during tournaments, but it’s always clear. I said many times that I wouldn’t shake hands and she already played against Martha in the first round. It’s understandable,” Svitolina told a news conference.
