Wimbledon: "The public does not know the context well", slips Medvedev about the whistles against Azarenka

It has become “a tradition”. Ukraine's Svitolina did not shake hands with Azarenka after winning 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (11/9) in the round of 16, in protest against Ukraine's invasion of Ukraine Russia in February 2022. The Belarusian left the court to boos from much of the audience. The two-time Australian Open champion felt the crowd may have been drinking a little too much Pimm's, the tournament's traditional alcoholic beverage, during the day.

Asked about the incident, Muscovite Medvedev said: "I think it's a big misunderstanding. It's brutal for anyone who loses a tiebreak in a third set. I liked her response at the press conference, she respected Svitolina's decision not to shake her hand. I think the crowd that comes to Court 1 is around 10,000 people. They don't all know the story behind it. They just saw Vika not shaking hands. That's why I think they booed her."
