Why is there a false headline for this video. Svitolina didn't shake hands with Sabalenka, she's the one who refused to shake hands, headline implies it was Sabalenka who refused to shake hands.
I know right all these stupid posters on here asking why Sabalenka went to the net ... its not her job to base her actions off what Svitolina might or might not do.
Now, thousands of people and animals in Ukraine are flooded because of the dam descrution by putinists. how many more people need to die till russians and belarussians will stand up and say " I am against the war, I am against putin and lukaszenka" ?💙💛 #stoprussia #standwithUkraine
"... and doesn't shake hands with Svitolina"?... you're kidding me, Eurosport Tennis. It's Svitolina who doesn't shake hands with her. Shame on Svitolina (and on the one who wrote this title).
It is hard for both players. Svitolina would get a terrible time from her country if she did shake hands. Hope this conflict between the countries is over soon.
Even I will support Aryna much more after this win. No need to shake hands with Elina. She lost. She lost this match. She lost herself on the court. She lost as a Tennis Player. She lost!
@@d.s.5178Your comment is so dumb. Did Sabalenka or any other Russian tennis player take a gun and kill any Ukrainian??? No. So, leave the sport out of this war, it has NOTHING to do with it. I'm sorry for what's happening in Ukraine, but a tennis player can't single handedly stop the war.
She is nothing like Serena, Sabalenka can't volley, her serve accuracy is not in serena's hemisphere let alone the disguise that Serena has on her serve, Serena was also able to hit back hand winners on the slide, Sabalenka can not do that, and Sabalenka hardly uses the drop shot, I would say Sabalenka plays more like Sharapova.
The WTA has to step up and put an end to this nonsense. If they don't shake hands fine them. If they don't apologize ban them from the tour. Time to bring back sportsmanship. Enough is enough.
Forcing sportsmanship is retarded and only a retardo like you can suggest something that ridiculous. They're their own person and can decide wheather they wanna shake hands or not. They're getting paid to play tennis. They don't get money to appease fools like you. If you don't like them don't watch.
Agree entirely. Sportsmanship is being lost amongst all this nonsense from the Ukrainian players. And there was the booing of Kostyuk after she refused to shake hands with Sabalenka and Sabalenka mocked the crowd by taking a bow as she thought she was being booed!! That was all caused by Kostyuk. As you said, the WTA has got to end this silliness right now. It's causing too many uncomfortable circumstances and there was all that with Kasatkina and Svitolina when they gave each other the thumbs up rather than shaking hands!!

She’s Belarusian no? 🇧🇾 What’s Russia & Serbia got to do with anything? More fundamentally what’s nationality got to do with respecting another sportsperson?
Скажи це російським солдатам які вбивають українців цілими сім'ями, тільки за те що вони українці. З території Білорусі здійснюються обстріли України російськими загарбниками. А ти й далі розказуй казки про мир
Sabalenka maintains good relations with the dictator Lukashenko. Lukashenko is the illegitimate president of Belarus, from whose territory Ukraine was attacked.
She is powerful, consistent and is in excellent health and condition. No surprises compared to iga and elena. But she is also an extremely warm and sweet person. She deserves to be no. 1. It will be more interesting from now on with 3 fighting at the top. It's boring when matches are predictable. All the best Aryna. 3 of them are still young. A replica of RN, ND and RF.
So you are telling me that Naomi Osaka was FORCED by the RG organizers to go to the press conference, and Sabalenka is able to skip all of them because that's her right? Ridiculous
Osaka announced that she will not attend press conferences, without consulting the tournament. Sabalenka asked tournament for permission to skip usual press and conduct with chosen journalists. Osaka wasn't being asked about Japan or USA war crimes or why she wasn't doing more or speaking about the same. Osaka was asked questions that tennis players face. Sabalenka was repeatedly being hounded to speak more about hee country's involvement in the war, though she has clarified same multiple times. She was being made to feel guilty and criminal.
Very different circumstances. Osaka unilaterally declared in advance of the tournament she would do no press (except one on one pieces mandated by her sponsors, because capitalism) and in the process defamed literally every working journalist in the sport. The follow up created a rule change, and that’s what Sabalenka is making use of today: the permission granted to players to seek alternative ways of meeting their press obligations without putting them into situations that cause them undue personal stress. Unlike Osaka, Sabalenka is not saying “I will not be questioned (unless you pay me)”.
Aryana can decline a press conference if she wants. Obviously, she’s avoiding confrontation & doesn’t like the animosity.Hedge Funds & Lawyers are the Putins of America.
Elina Svitolina was on a mission against Anastasia Potapova, smashed her chest against and shook a hand with her, no handshake here with Aryna Sablenka, mission over.
@@the.falcon Clownkraine started the whole mess by having Clownkraine army bomb their own citizens for 8 years. You are probably a blind falcon is my guess.
Don't say Sabalenka didn't shake hands with Svitolina, Svitolina didn't shake hands with her, Sabalenka waited at the net to see what her reaction was going to be and she didn't even look Sabalenka's way I'm so happy Sabalenka won that match, those Ukrainian players are ridiculous being mean to someone who hasn't done anything to you, If I were the Russian players all Ukrainians that refused to shake my hand wouldn't shake it after the war either because it's nonsense to blame the Russian players for their governments decisions and the grands slams that didn't allow the Russians to play they should be ashamed that was a terrible thing to do.
sabalenka is a representer and supporter of the government and country that kills Ukrainian people. All ruzians and pretty much all belaruzians and guilty as they let it all happen and over 80% support the war. Its not government shots towards civilians, its common ruzians & beloruzians press the button. ruzians and beloruzians cannot be at the sport stage at all. They have to be on their knees after we win the war. And be isolated from human world forever. Those, who are not in our shoes would say handshake with the enemy is fine. You did not have to flee your home country under shelling, you won’t understand
Aryna’s really making these girls show their true colors. Selfish brats who don’t know how to be a true athletes. Sportsmanship is key to being a proper player.
Svitolina didn't want the handshake but Sabalenka was there waiting for it as per the rules of good sportsmanship. To all the netizens who said Sabalenka staged the incident or provoked it, then you are all mad because Svitolina could have dismantled the alleged ploy by giving the handshake thus destroying Sabalenka's "evil ploy" but instead played into it. Pathetic attempt at defending bad behaviour.
It's not silly. I don't see Kasatkina going to nets when she faces Ukrainian players because she already knows as Ukrainian players already declared to not shake hands with Russian and Belarusian players. So Sabalenka knew perfectly well that Svitolina cannot shake hands. So what's the point of going to nets?? Provoke a reaction out of crowd???
Svitolina's revealed personal views are not in the sport's interest. 👎Her attitude is infesting the sport with negative results. All sport players must leave the politics OUT! She is nothing but a hypocrite- playing Ukrainian patriotic ??!...but LIVING IN FRANCE ...???! All my respect to the Men's manners- Civilized, sportsmanship attitude! Why a woman has to be mean? Svitolina must apologize to Sabalenka!
I agree with you.... The men are so finesse and professional... But also credit to the Russian / Belarusian female players.... All are so professional and these Ukrainian female players may not realize it but by not shaking hands... They just fuel more hate and because of this hate it makes them lose... since their minds are not clear.. Blaming another player for really something they have no control over.
She is a total fraud never liked her even before the Ukrainian war .. what she really dislikes is that fact that Sabalenka has moved past her in terms of her game
She's a professional player and this was her regular day at work. Handshakes are customary, and nothing more and if she doesn't want to do it with the opponent who supports the leader responsible for the war, good for her.
Switolina nie podając ręki udowodniła, ze nie jest sportowcem, lecz dzikusem-żołnierzem. Skoro tak, to niech na front jedzie, a nie bierze udział w turniejach sportowych. Switolina zachowała się skandalicznie!
I fully agree with you. Switolina like any other Ukrainian player if they don't like any sport's competition should go back to their country and enroll to the Neo-Nazi Ukrainian army.
Very very interesting human being Sabalenka is🤩. Her persona and aura just simply pristine👌. On the opposite of the net is opposite. Such a disgrace, mixing politics with tennis.hoping the coming generation understand the difference between politics and sports.

So sad to see tennis players being bullied / hated on based purely on where they're from - something they cannot control. It's literally discrimination based on national original. Tennis should have nothing to do with politics.
They can control what they say about their government and what coutry they represent. Sabalenka supports lukashenko and putin. She doesnt deserve a handshake
@@yuliiahr22 and following that logic, no athlete from a warring country has ever deserved - or will ever deserve in the future - a handshake as long as one of them can't put politics behind them and separate the individual from the government that controls them. Horrible precedent. Did you even bother reading my comment about the brave Iranian soccer player who denounced his govt during the World Cup...and is now serving a 16-year prison sentence??? You plan on getting him out of jail anytime soon since his life is now ruined but he satisfied your expectations of what an athlete should say??? Grow up!
@@user-xp7oo5ze7e very simple answer - immigrate, don’t play for the country which represents bloody regime - that’s the answer. People their level can make choices. What about press conference? Why sabalenka “doesn’t feel safe” for attending press conference? She cannot say she supports lukashenka? And for not shaking hands between sportsmen - google would help to find plenty of examples. don’t say you know what’s going on coz you don’t unless you are there right now and you are Ukrainian who has nowhere to go.
Why did Svitolina share the court with an evil Belarusian, if she wanted to express some political opinion (for which she should have been punished or at least booed off the court) she should not have even gone on the court. But when it comes to points and prize money, she will play with the occupier, she just won't shake hands when she loses.
@@Jinan429 Nah you got it all wrong. Playing tennis is her job and livelihood and she doesn't chose to play Russian or Belarusians but since it's knockout she'll have to play whoever comes in front of her. And shaking hands is nowhere in the rules sets at all

Funny how the female commentators are 100% agreeable to the refusal of hand shakes. The gay female commentator actually said a few days ago that the only reason the crowd boos is before they don’t know they reason why the Ukrainian players don’t shake hands. Preposterous.
Okay, if Svitolina or any ukrainian doesn't want to shake hand of russian or belarussian player, she could at least make a thumbs up or do something to show some respect. Her behaviour shows that she have a particular problem with the player and not the country she is representing
Exactly I saw a Ukrainian tennis player do that last year - I think they just gave a gesture of acknowledgement. To be honest even before this war started I never liked Svitolina's attitude ... she just hates the fact Sabalenka has surpassed her
@@wheel631 You don't make sense. She was out for over an year and even before that she was discontinuous. So it's expected of her to struggle against top seeds which is common sense.

These Ukranian athletes are just close minded and dictator they want all these players to speak up about war where in fact for what does it help to change the mind of Vladimir when they speak up common they are just unreasonable and lowly minded.
Bravooo Sabalenka!!!
Go Sabalenka! 🇷🇺🇷🇸
She’s Belarusian no? 🇧🇾 What’s Russia & Serbia got to do with anything? More fundamentally what’s nationality got to do with respecting another sportsperson?
Sabalenka is a legend, unlike those fragile people siding with the likes of Swiatek, Kostyuk, Kvitova and Svitolina.
These ukranian players condemned war and wants peace but their gestures here in the court promotes anger and no respect. Ironic isn't?
Yeah they are totally fakers ..
Ти б тиснув руку тим хто підтримує вбивства твого народу, твоєї сім'ї? Ти просто дурень твердолобий
I agree!!! 👌
I totally agree😢They are not respectful
In case the Russians and Bieorusos were respectful by invading Ukraine
Be kind to opponent when you play tennis. It bring you peace. That's what you can do.
Скажи це російським солдатам які вбивають українців цілими сім'ями, тільки за те що вони українці. З території Білорусі здійснюються обстріли України російськими загарбниками. А ти й далі розказуй казки про мир
Are you russian orc or an idiot? I want to see how you will react to the enemy who came to kill you!
Sabalenka maintains good relations with the dictator Lukashenko. Lukashenko is the illegitimate president of Belarus, from whose territory Ukraine was attacked.
Would shaking hands with a person, who supports the killer of your friends bring you peace?
@@innas7753 Indeed. Inner Peace!
Sobolenko 😍🔥
She is powerful, consistent and is in excellent health and condition. No surprises compared to iga and elena. But she is also an extremely warm and sweet person. She deserves to be no. 1. It will be more interesting from now on with 3 fighting at the top. It's boring when matches are predictable. All the best Aryna. 3 of them are still young. A replica of RN, ND and RF.

So you are telling me that Naomi Osaka was FORCED by the RG organizers to go to the press conference, and Sabalenka is able to skip all of them because that's her right? Ridiculous
Osaka announced that she will not attend press conferences, without consulting the tournament. Sabalenka asked tournament for permission to skip usual press and conduct with chosen journalists. Osaka wasn't being asked about Japan or USA war crimes or why she wasn't doing more or speaking about the same. Osaka was asked questions that tennis players face. Sabalenka was repeatedly being hounded to speak more about hee country's involvement in the war, though she has clarified same multiple times. She was being made to feel guilty and criminal.
who is FORCED?🤣 nice one brah.
Very different circumstances. Osaka unilaterally declared in advance of the tournament she would do no press (except one on one pieces mandated by her sponsors, because capitalism) and in the process defamed literally every working journalist in the sport.
The follow up created a rule change, and that’s what Sabalenka is making use of today: the permission granted to players to seek alternative ways of meeting their press obligations without putting them into situations that cause them undue personal stress.
Unlike Osaka, Sabalenka is not saying “I will not be questioned (unless you pay me)”.
Aryana can decline a press conference if she wants. Obviously, she’s avoiding confrontation & doesn’t like the animosity.Hedge Funds & Lawyers are the Putins of America.
I agree! Sabalenka should be fined as well
Goodbye Svitolina,come back next time with nicer manners!
@eurosport change the headline please. What’s wrong with you??
Elina Svitolina was on a mission against Anastasia Potapova, smashed her chest against and shook a hand with her, no handshake here with Aryna Sablenka, mission over.
Sabalenka 😃💪
Shame on Svitolina !!
She just hates the fact that Sabalenka has surpassed her
Shame on lukashenko and putin. wouldn't you agree?🤔

Quelle classe Sabalenka et j'espère qu'elle remportera le trophée et la place de numéro un mondial !!!
Most genuine and sweet player on tour..She is a superstar..

Don't say Sabalenka didn't shake hands with Svitolina, Svitolina didn't shake hands with her, Sabalenka waited at the net to see what her reaction was going to be and she didn't even look Sabalenka's way I'm so happy Sabalenka won that match, those Ukrainian players are ridiculous being mean to someone who hasn't done anything to you, If I were the Russian players all Ukrainians that refused to shake my hand wouldn't shake it after the war either because it's nonsense to blame the Russian players for their governments decisions and the grands slams that didn't allow the Russians to play they should be ashamed that was a terrible thing to do.
sabalenka is a representer and supporter of the government and country that kills Ukrainian people. All ruzians and pretty much all belaruzians and guilty as they let it all happen and over 80% support the war. Its not government shots towards civilians, its common ruzians & beloruzians press the button. ruzians and beloruzians cannot be at the sport stage at all. They have to be on their knees after we win the war. And be isolated from human world forever. Those, who are not in our shoes would say handshake with the enemy is fine. You did not have to flee your home country under shelling, you won’t understand
Well done, and come on Aryna! :)
Aryna ♥️♥️♥️
Aryna’s really making these girls show their true colors. Selfish brats who don’t know how to be a true athletes. Sportsmanship is key to being a proper player.
Svitolina didn't want the handshake but Sabalenka was there waiting for it as per the rules of good sportsmanship. To all the netizens who said Sabalenka staged the incident or provoked it, then you are all mad because Svitolina could have dismantled the alleged ploy by giving the handshake thus destroying Sabalenka's "evil ploy" but instead played into it. Pathetic attempt at defending bad behaviour.
Yeah the 'she should not have gone to the net argument' is so silly in terms of their logic
Well put Sabalenka goes to the net like every other player - its Svitolina's ACTIONS
It's not silly. I don't see Kasatkina going to nets when she faces Ukrainian players because she already knows as Ukrainian players already declared to not shake hands with Russian and Belarusian players.
So Sabalenka knew perfectly well that Svitolina cannot shake hands. So what's the point of going to nets?? Provoke a reaction out of crowd???
"Svitolina could have dismantled plot by giving her a handshake"??
And then what? Face backlash from her Ukrainian compatriots?
Get a brain 🧠

Such an embarrassment to svitolina!
So satisfying when tontolina loses
Болею за Арину! Поздравления!! Дальнейших побед!
Svitolina's revealed personal views are not in the sport's interest. 👎Her attitude is infesting the sport with negative results. All sport players must leave the politics OUT! She is nothing but a hypocrite- playing Ukrainian patriotic ??!...but LIVING IN FRANCE ...???!
All my respect to the Men's manners- Civilized, sportsmanship attitude!
Why a woman has to be mean? Svitolina must apologize to Sabalenka!
She actually spends her time in Monaco and in Switzserland as french players all live there to avoid taxes...
@@polob5150 thank you for the info. Still she/Svitolina is a big HYPOCRITE! Nil respect for her.
I agree with you.... The men are so finesse and professional... But also credit to the Russian / Belarusian female players.... All are so professional and these Ukrainian female players may not realize it but by not shaking hands... They just fuel more hate and because of this hate it makes them lose... since their minds are not clear.. Blaming another player for really something they have no control over.
Svitolina shows up to cash the check vs in her mind is the enemy but thinks she is fighting the war by no handshake.
She is a total fraud never liked her even before the Ukrainian war .. what she really dislikes is that fact that Sabalenka has moved past her in terms of her game
She's a professional player and this was her regular day at work. Handshakes are customary, and nothing more and if she doesn't want to do it with the opponent who supports the leader responsible for the war, good for her.
Sabalenka 👍👏: Svitolina 👎
Sabalenka showed class in standing at the net to shake Svitolina's hand. Of course the Ukrainian is under pressure from her country.
Jeżeli wygra w Paryżu to... może zrobić w tym roku szlema. To jest możliwe 😮
Abartig !!!!! Sport hat was mit Respekt zu tun und Respekt hat Sabalenka mehr als verdient.
Good for you Elina !
Switolina nie podając ręki udowodniła, ze nie jest sportowcem, lecz dzikusem-żołnierzem. Skoro tak, to niech na front jedzie, a nie bierze udział w turniejach sportowych. Switolina zachowała się skandalicznie!
I fully agree with you. Switolina like any other Ukrainian player if they don't like any sport's competition should go back to their country and enroll to the Neo-Nazi Ukrainian army.
Дебіл, українські солдати платять своїми життями щоб стримати Україну і Польщу в тому числі.

@@Anna-zr6cu «миролюбивая» девочка Свитолина одесситка, почему не возмутилась , когда в ее родном г Одесса 2 мая 2014 г нацисты сожгли живьём 50 человек( ей уже было 18) и сейчас и никогда не вспомнила это , уже не говоря , что творили на Донбасе и Луганске киевская власть (14 тыс погибших) . Это не люди?
So sad to see tennis players being bullied / hated on based purely on where they're from - something they cannot control. It's literally discrimination based on national original. Tennis should have nothing to do with politics.
They can control what they say about their government and what coutry they represent. Sabalenka supports lukashenko and putin. She doesnt deserve a handshake
@@yuliiahr22 and following that logic, no athlete from a warring country has ever deserved - or will ever deserve in the future - a handshake as long as one of them can't put politics behind them and separate the individual from the government that controls them. Horrible precedent. Did you even bother reading my comment about the brave Iranian soccer player who denounced his govt during the World Cup...and is now serving a 16-year prison sentence??? You plan on getting him out of jail anytime soon since his life is now ruined but he satisfied your expectations of what an athlete should say??? Grow up!
@@user-xp7oo5ze7e very simple answer - immigrate, don’t play for the country which represents bloody regime - that’s the answer. People their level can make choices. What about press conference? Why sabalenka “doesn’t feel safe” for attending press conference? She cannot say she supports lukashenka? And for not shaking hands between sportsmen - google would help to find plenty of examples. don’t say you know what’s going on coz you don’t unless you are there right now and you are Ukrainian who has nowhere to go.

Why did Svitolina share the court with an evil Belarusian, if she wanted to express some political opinion (for which she should have been punished or at least booed off the court) she should not have even gone on the court. But when it comes to points and prize money, she will play with the occupier, she
just won't shake hands when she loses.
She's just doing her job. Handshake is not included in the rules

Funny how the female commentators are 100% agreeable to the refusal of hand shakes. The gay female commentator actually said a few days ago that the only reason the crowd boos is before they don’t know they reason why the Ukrainian players don’t shake hands. Preposterous.

@@bganonimouse2754 …because statistically they are spiteful and on the wrong side of most discussions. Loser.
Okay, if Svitolina or any ukrainian doesn't want to shake hand of russian or belarussian player, she could at least make a thumbs up or do something to show some respect. Her behaviour shows that she have a particular problem with the player and not the country she is representing
