Victoria Azarenka blasted the boos she faced as "very unfair" after her Wimbledon exit on Sunday.
The Belarus star, who had to operate as a neutral athlete whilst at SW19, took on Ukrainian Elina Svitolina in the last 16 and was undone in three sets as she lost a final set tiebreak. Svitolina rejoiced in her emotional victory but Azarenka was booed as she left Court 1.
The two-time Grand Slam winner appeared surprised as she faced the jeers and banged her fists together in a reactive gesture as she made her way from the court. Azarenka has condemned her country's involvement in Russia's invasion in Ukraine and respected Svitolina's decision not to shake hands, so was frustrated by the crowd's response to her heading straight off the court.
