Ukrainian tennis player Marta Kostyuk commented on the scandalous incident after her match with Belarusian Arina Sobolenko in the first round of Roland Garros-2023. After the end of the fight, the 20-year-old from Kiev refused on principle to shake hands with an athlete from the aggressor country, for which she was booed by the audience in the stands of the French major. At a press conference after the game, the Ukrainian was asked about the whistle of the fans in her address. Martha replied that she did not expect this.. Kostyuk said that these fans should be ashamed of their behavior. " I didn't expect it, but I didn't react to it.. Honestly, people should be ashamed, but not me (for them - approx.. ) decide. I feel fine. On social networks after my statements I get a lot of negative reactions, but I have deleted almost all social networks from my phone. I don't read anything. I'm closing comments and I don't want to - honestly I don't want to. I'm sick of the shit that people say. It doesn't make sense so I just skip it. I am sure that it will be different at Wimbledon, because last year at Wimbledon these players (Russians and Belarusians - approx.. ) was suspended from speaking. And when I was in the UK last year, people reacted differently to us, even literally on the street. I felt a lot of support, so I'm very sure that their reaction would have been different" org. ua. It should be noted that this is not the first time since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine that Marta does not shake hands with her rivals from Russia and Belarus.. For Kostyuk, performances at the French Open tennis championship in singles are completed. In the first round of the main draw, she lost to Sobolenko, who is the second racket of the world, with a score of 3:6, 2:6. In addition to Marta, five more Ukrainians will compete in the main draw of Roland Garros-2023 - Elina Svitolina, Angelina Kalinina, Lesya Tsurenko, Kateryna Beindl and Dayana Yastremska, who overcame the qualification.
