The Ukrainian tennis player did not forget that Varvara Gracheva recently represented the aggressor country.
Ukrainians have not forgotten and have not forgiven the disaster that the Russian invaders brought to our country, even if the representatives of this country changed their citizenship.
This is what Dayana Yastremskaya decided and refused to shake Varvara Gracheva’s hand at Wimbledon.
We remind you that the meeting ended in three sets. The Ukrainian grabbed the victory in the decisive tiebreaker with a score of 10:5.
After the game, Gracheva ran to the net to shake hands with the Ukrainian, but didn’t get what she wanted. Diana did not shake hands with the French woman.
The fact is that Gracheva had Russian citizenship before June 2023, after which she suddenly changed her mind and decided to live in the EU, choosing France.
