Belarusian tennis player Sablanka used obscene language after losing to a Ukrainian athlete. She apologized and explained that the Ukrainian fans made her angry.
Belarusian tennis player Aryna Sablenka lost to Ukraine's Olina Svitolina on Friday in the group stage of the WTA Finals tournament in the USA - as a result of the match, Sablenka failed to reach the semi-finals.
After the game, a segment of the broadcast was circulated on social networks, in which Sablanka apparently says: "F*** you b******, Ukrainians, to hell."
The network suggested that the words could have been directed at Svitolina. After the criticism, Sablanka posted an apology on Instagram. She explained that she was angry with a group of scouts who celebrated her mistakes.
I want to clarify one point from my last game, which is now actively discussed on the Internet. My comment was not addressed to Alina.
I was angry at a small group of viewers who were aggressively celebrating my mistakes, and in that moment I reacted emotionally.
However, I should have handled my frustration differently and I apologize to anyone I may have offended.
Alina played a great game and I wish her the best of luck in the rest of the tournament.
Sablanko is also included in the database of the Ukrainian site "Usha Shalom". As the Mirror writes, her data appeared there on November 14.
