Belarusian Aryna Sabalenko defeated Ukrainian Elina Svitolina

The second favorite of the Paris Grand Slam Sabalenka had a very difficult match with the player who became a mother for the first time in October.

Arina won after an hour and 34 minutes of play with a score of 6-4, 6-4.

The Australian Open champion was waiting for her opponent near the net at the end of the match, but Elina ignored her (this is what she does after matches with Russian players).

As happened after Arina’s match with Marta Kostyuk, Ukrainian Svitolina was booed by the crowd at Philippe-Chatrier for refusing to shake hands at the net.
