Dayana Yastremska is one of the most emotional tennis players on the WTA tour. Dayana is well-known for being involved in many tennis dramas, often filled with questionable medical time-outs.
The Ukrainian player was involved in a rather spicy match against Caty McNally on Tuesday in Cincinnati (Caty’s hometown). Dayana seemed to be annoyed that the local crowd was cheering for the home favorite. Eventually, Yastremska won the match after conquering a couple of tiebreakers.
After the match, Dayana before made fun of the local crowd, and then she initially refused to have a handshake with Caty. That happened soon after, but there wasn’t much love between the 2 players
This kind of behavior doesn’t please many tennis fans that still remember when once Yastremska retired during a match when she was facing 3 consecutive match points against Monica Puig.
