Athletistic / Tennis. Belarusian tennis player Victoria Azarenka has urged not to inflate the scandal over Ukrainian Elina Svitolina’s decision not to shake her hand. The rivals met in the fourth round, Svitolina won and reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals.

“You guys linger every step of the way. You make a really big story out of it. But it doesn’t make any sense. The longer you do this, the more conversations there will be. I think that conversation hasn’t of meaning. .

The handshake talk is not life changing. If you want to talk more about it, make headlines about it, go ahead. I think we had a great tennis match. If people are only focusing on handshakes or audience reactions, then that’s too bad.

Am I a victim? Because they didn’t shake my hand? Are you serious? She does not want to shake hands with rivals from Russia and Belarus. I respect his decision,” Victoria told a news conference.
