"Didn't take French Open crowd even a half day to start acting like trash": Tennis fans react to Kostyuk being booed at French Open

Marta Kostyuk was booed by the French crowd after not shaking hands with Aryna Sabalenka following their Roland Garros clash and tennis fans reacted to it.

As many expected, we didn't see Sabalenka and Kostyuk shake hands at Roland Garros and the Ukrainian player was booed for the action. Tennis fans around the world reacted to the scenes, Kostyuk herself lashed out against the reaction as well and a lot of tennis fans seem to agree with her.

We bring you some of the reactions below:

"The crowd at Chatrier booing Marta Kostyuk for not shaking hands with a tennis player representing the country which helps another country to destroy Kostyuk’s country is disgusting. Sabalenka, with her gestures and body language, is no less disgusting."

"That's the world people want. Be silent, pretend nothing happened, have fun. That's the tennis, WTA wants. It's so sad and honestly I have no hope it'll change. Unless this war will get to their homes and families."
