Russian tennis player Anastasia Potapova He calmly reacted to his failure to shake hands at the end of the match with Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk in Miami.

“I was expecting this. Obviously, it’s his choice. “I’m here to play tennis and forget about other things,” said Potapova.

The Russian woman was more surprised to receive a warning for entering the game at Indian Wells in a Spartak football club t-shirt: “There was no political connotation in this shirt. I’ve been a Spartak superfan since I was ten years old. My father built part of the stadium for this team, so it belongs to our family. I’m fine with them. I was very surprised because there was no evil in it.”

Potapova added that she really wanted to play at Wimbledon: “I’m imagining it because it’s one of my favorite episodes of the season. I can only pray and hope for that. I’ll be very happy if we can compete there.”
