Aryna Sabalenka Shrugs Off Marta Kostyuk Handshake Snub After Brisbane Final

After Sabalenka beat Kostyuk 6-4, 6-3 to repeat as Brisbane champion, the Ukrainian again refused a post-match handshake. Sabalenka said, “It’s their position… I don’t care about that,” adding, “When I go into the match, it’s all about tennis.” The world No. 1 stayed 5-0 vs Kostyuk, who still hasn’t won a set. Sabalenka now turns to the Australian Open.
