"I've already got one child at home, not dealing with another one": Tennis fans react to 'pure gold' Azarenka-Ostapenko Qatar Open handshake
WTA
Victoria Azarenka and Jelena Ostapenko is a match which is often must watch if you're a fan of the multiple Grand Slam champion in particular who holds an incredible record against the Latvian and extended that on Wednesday night at the Qatar Open.
But as well as the manner of the win, it was the post match handshake or lack there of that also produced heavy reaction on social media from tennis fans. Azarenka after sealing the win pointed at her head like she was signalling that she is in the mind of Ostapenko and at the net, the former Roland Garros champion put out her racquet instead of attempting a handshake.
Azarenka like Ostapenko isn't one to shy away from showing how she feels and she walked past her at the net not amused at all. This garnered a lot of tennis fans applauding Azarenka, but also hitting out at Ostapenko not offering a handshake in the first place.
"Vika's reaction at the end is pure gold. She ain't got time for this sh*t lol," a fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).
"Rude from Ostapenko to not shake Azarenka's hand. She only acts nice when she wins, sore loser. She's Azarenka's punching bag" another posted.
Another also said: "Vika like I've already got one child at home. Not dealing with another one." Azarenka will be back in action on Thursday night when she faces World No.1, Iga Swiatek for a spot in the semi-finals.

- That was a hideous display. Condescending Collins is no friend to tennis. She said she was retiring and should follow through. Sooner the better for the sport. BTW: As I read it in the WTA Rulebook 2025, it seems she broke at least two regulations in her post-match childish behavior. BTW: There are reasons she has no sponsors... and she displayed several of those reasons today.mandoist16-01-2025
