Svitolina ignored Sabalenka and did not welcome her because of the war between Ukraine and Russia
Arina Sabalenka and Elina Svitolina did not follow the usual handshake procedure after the end of the game in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros and the reason is none other than the war in Ukraine.
It was Arina Champalenka who secured her ticket to the Roland Garros semi-finals when she defeated Elina Svitolona 2-0 sets (6-4, 6-4) after an hour and 36 minutes.
However, at the end of the game, the two tennis players did not exchange hands as usual. THE Sabalenka waited near the net the Ukrainian greeted her, but the Svitolona without even looking at her opponent crossed the square and left.
The reason, of course, is the war between Russia and Ukraine Is It is known that Ukrainian women do not greet Russian and Belarusian women.
