PARIS: Ukraine's Dayana Yastremska backed compatriot Marta Kostyuk, who was booed off the court by fans on Court Philippe Chatrier on Sunday, for not shaking Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka's hand, following their French Open opening-round match.
Yastremska, ranked 144, a qualifier who went down to Croatia's Donna Vekic 2-6, 5-7, said, "If we play against Russians and Belarusians, it doesn't matter which tournament, we're not going to shake hands."
