Handshake Refusal

Oleksandra Oliynykova refused a post-match handshake with Polina Kudermetova following their first-round match at the Charleston Open. Kudermetova, who switched her nationality from Russia to Uzbekistan late last year, came back to win 3-6, 7-6(1), 6-4. A scoreboard message informed spectators that no handshake would occur.
