Victoria Azarenka’s run at Wimbledon came to an end on Sunday after she lost in a three-set tiebreaker to Elina Svitolina 6-2. 4-6, 6-7 (11). However, the fireworks came right after the match was decided.

Azarenka, from Belarus, walked straight to the chair umpire after the match knowing that Svitolina, who is from Ukraine, had not shaken hands with Belarusian or Russian players after her matches. So, as Azarenka gathered her gear up to walk off the court, fans booed her.

"I can’t control the crowd. I’m not sure that a lot of people were understanding what’s happening," Azarenka said. "It wasn’t fair. It is what it is. What can I do?"

It was not clear what he fans thought was happening, but Azarenka shook her head and banged her hands or fists over her head. She said she has always had a good relationship with Svitolina.

"But what can I say about the crowd? There is nothing to say," she added. "She doesn’t want to shake hands with Russian, Belarusian people. I respected her decision. What should I have done? Stayed and waited? Like, I mean, there’s no thing that I could do that would have been right, so I just did what I thought was respectful towards her decision."
