WIMBLEDON, England — Wimbledon is staying out of the politics of handshakes. 1 Court booed Belarusian player Victoria Azarenka after she didn't go to the net to shake hands with Svitolina after the Ukrainian player's victory on Sunday. Azarenka knew that Svitolina doesn't shake hands with Russians and Belarusians — in protest of Russia's invasion of Ukraine — and instead waved to her. Bolton, however, said there won't be any instruction to Wimbledon umpires to make announcements about handshakes. Marta Kostyuk was booed when she didn't shake hands with Sabalenka.
