Victoria Azarenka walked off Court 1 to the sound of boos after the Belarusian and Ukrainian Elina Svitolina didn’t shake hands. Victoria Azarenka called the Wimbledon crowd “unfair” and “drunk” after she was booed off Court 1 following her defeat to Elina Svitolina in a politically charged clash. As has become a common feature, Svitolina did not shake hands with Belarusian Azarenka in protest over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “But if people are going to be focusing only on handshakes or a quite drunk crowd, booing in the end, that’s a shame.” Svitolina and fellow Ukrainian players had decided not to shake hands with Russian and Belarusian rivals at the recent French Open.
