Kostyuk took the initiative to shake hands with Kasatkina and became big news in Rome, netizens: The reconciliation of the century

To be able to make an ordinary match unusual, it is estimated that only Kostyuk and Kasatkina in Rome can do it!

Kostyuk and Kasatkina met in the second round of the Rome 1000, and the pre-match discussion focused on one point: how did Kasatkina perform? Because judging from the previous games between the two, there is no basic handshake etiquette after the game, so apart from the results and scores, I really can't think of anything to pay attention to.

Everyone is concerned about Kasatkina's performance, which is related to her recent change of nationality and migration to Australia.

Due to the current shortage of Australian female players, Kasatkina immediately became an Australian sister after changing her nationality. Then, just came to gain this important title, in the words of a netizen, "If Brother Ka doesn't show some real skills and give back to Australia with honor, it is estimated that this sister's identity will also be criticized by Australian fans, and this vote is really essential." ”

Unfortunately, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, when the match between Kasatkina and Kostyuk ended, the long-awaited vote of fans and netizens did not come, and Kasatkina lost in two sets in a row, 4-6 and 2-6.

Originally, after the results of the game came out, this matter turned the page in the eyes of many people, but after seeing Kostyuk break the previous practice of not shaking hands and took the initiative to shake hands with Kasatina, public opinion instantly exploded.

"This is the reconciliation of the century, and it is really a rare classic scene." Seeing that Kostyuk and Kasatkina were still talking and laughing when shaking hands, some fans and netizens bluntly said that it was incredible, emphasizing that the Rome tournament should focus on praising Kostyuk and Kasatkina, this is the real friendship first, the game second.

Everyone was so surprised by the two of them, and it was related to the Russia-Ukraine incident.

Although Kasatkina's position on the Russia-Ukraine incident is completely different from Potapova's, she has always shown that she is an anti-war party, and she is supporting Ukraine in disguise, but every time she plays with Ukrainian players, she will be treated with a cold face after the game, so that Kasatkina was ridiculed for being too difficult to be a person, "She has not done anything wrong, she has always been friendly, but she has received such a cold reception." ”

I thought that Ukrainian players would always be so indifferent before the Russian-Ukrainian incident passed, but I didn't expect that shaking hands with Kasatkina this time completely subverted the previous perception of the outside world.

"We're not friends, we're just colleagues." Perhaps Kostyuk also knew what kind of reaction he would have on the public side if he took the initiative to shake hands with Kasatkina, and said so afterwards.

In Kostyuk's opinion, she also knows that it will not be easy for her to do this, and the reason why she is shaking hands with Kasatkina now is not because she changed her nationality to Australia, but because "many people choose nationality just for their passports, and Kasatkina, unlike Kasatina, she is the only one who is against the war." She and Casa can't be friends, but they can be ordinary colleagues."

In addition, the Ukrainian beauty also gave another explanation for the great reaction to the handshake incident on the side of public opinion.

"I shook hands with her because I was happy for her and her decision. I think that if someone not only tells the truth, but also acts on it, it deserves respect. It's important to acknowledge this so that you can take the lead with others and have someone to be respected in these matters. Kostyuk believes that Kasatina's courage to express her true thoughts when she did not change her Russian nationality did indeed make her very admirable, so that her previous apathy will of course dissolve after she has now migrated to Australia.

After the defeat against Kostyuk, some said that Kasatina's nomination journey would have to continue, and it was hoped that she would not be under too much pressure. The winning Ukrainian beauty, after getting 65 points, has also improved her instant world ranking and is currently ranked 25th. Next, Kostyuk will face Fernandez, who will compete for a ticket to the last 16.(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
