Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina was eliminated in the semifinals of Wimbledon. She lost to the Czech Marketa Vondrušova (6:3, 6:3) and ended the competition. At the press conference after the match, she first cried when asked about her homeland, and then became enraged when she was asked a new question.
Namely, if Arina Sabalenka (Belarus) wins the title there is a chance that Princess of Wales Kate Middleton will not present her with the trophy due to the political situation and the war in Ukraine. That’s why the media asked Svitolina “what she thinks about the fact that the princess could still present the trophy to the Belarusian.” She didn’t like that question. “To be honest, I don’t think about it at all. I am not in a good state of mind at this moment to answer such questions. I won’t be there, in the final. I’m angry that I won’t be able to play there and that I won’t be able to take the trophy from her“, said Svitolina.
Tensions between Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian female tennis players have been going on for a long time. It is known that Ukrainian women refuse to shake hands at the net after the match is over and that there is no greeting even before the start. Sabalenka had a hard time with all that, she cried at Roland Garros because of it all, and only Novak Djokovic doesn’t avoid her.
