Weird stuff happened in Wimbledon on Sunday. Victoria Azarenka lost an epic match to Elina Svitolina 2-6 6-4 7-6 (9). It is well-known that Svitolina is not conceding the handshake to players from Russia and Belarus and therefore Vika (from Belarus) was not immune to that. Strangely enough, Vika was booed by the crowd when she left the court. The fans probably had the impression that it was Vika not wanting the handshake because she lost.
