Social media is abuzz.
World No. 2 Arina Sobolenko ended her run at the WTA Finals after losing to Ukrainian Elina Svitolina.
The match lasted 1 hour and 55 minutes and ended with a score of 3–6, 6–3, 1–6 in favor of the Ukrainian.
Social media users noted that during the match, Sobolenko used profanity directed at Svitolina, adding the word “Ukrainian” to her insult.
Belarusians are writing in the comments: “She’s the one talking, but I’m the one who’s ashamed. Ukrainians, don’t pay attention to the words of this Lukashenko supporter.”
