Tennis player's refusal to shake hands causes uproar at French Open.

Marta Kostyuk, a Ukrainian tennis player, was booed by spectators at the French Open after refusing to shake hands with Belarusian opponent Aryna Sabalenka due to the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, with Belarus' assistance. Kostyuk's decision not to exchange pleasantries with players from Russia or Belarus is due to the recent drone attack in Kyiv, which killed at least one person. Sabalenka initially thought the booing was directed at her, but later realized it was due to Kostyuk's actions. No. 7 seed Maria Sakkari was knocked out of the tournament, while No. 2 seed Sabalenka won her first-round match against Kostyuk.
