Andreeva converted her first match point when she served for the match. There was no post-match handshake between them and Kostyuk walked off quickly, turning only to wave and blow kisses to the crowd on Court Philippe-Chatrier, which saw some fans draped in Ukrainian flags.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere beforehand was somewhat tense as the players had separate photos taken as they each stood next to two children on their respective side of the net. Usually the players pose for the same photo, standing right next to each other by the net.<\/p>\n

Kostyuk<\/a> and countrywoman Oleksandra Oliynykova<\/a> have spoken out during the tournament about the impact Russia’s invasion of Ukraine<\/a> is having on their country.<\/p>
