After the meeting ended, Azarenka immediately went to the judge to shake his hand. She didn’t go out on the grid, as Svitolina had previously said she wouldn’t shake hands with Russians and Belarusians. As a result, the audience booed Azarenka, thinking she refused to shake hands.
“I also experienced that. I had a similar situation in Paris. It happened there three times and again today.
Fans mistakenly booed Azarenka after match against Ukrainian Svitolina at Wimbledon
I think tennis organizations need to make a statement. Explain that Ukrainians will not shake hands with Russians and Belarusians. Maybe viewers don’t understand.
Unfair to your opponent? Well, it was exactly the same in Paris. Compared to me, it was also unfair in the Roland Garros quarter-finals,” Svitolina said after the match.
