Geopolitical tensions simmered at the US Open on Thursday as Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk refused the customary handshake at the net when Belarusian Victoria Azarenka defeated her 6-2 6-3 in the second round.

The pair exchanged a quick tap of the racket on Court 17 after Kostyuk whacked the ball into the net on the third match point and the three-time Flushing Meadows finalist let out a triumphant roar.

It marked the latest uneasy moment at the year’s final major, where Russians, Belarusians and Ukrainians compete alongside one another against the backdrop of military conflict. Azarenka said she was asked by the USTA to participate in the event and said at the time it was “a no-brainer” to accept. Wimbledon took it one step further when they banned athletes from both countries at this year’s major, which meant Russian men’s world number one Daniil Medvedev could not take part.

“Most of my really good friends, they know who I am. I’m still Daniil Medvedev, still play tennis,” he said.
