Women\u2019s tennis star Yulia Putintseva reacted on Monday after her spat with Maria Sakkari at the Bad Homburg Open<\/a> went viral across social media over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Sakkari appeared to take issue with how Putintseva shook her hand following their match. The Greek tennis star won the match over Putintseva 7-5 7-6 (6). The broadcast caught Sakkari stepping over toward Putintseva\u2019s side to exchange words with her. She was heard saying, “nobody likes you”<\/a> and that she should look her opponent in the eyes during a handshake.<\/p>\n

Putintseva posted the clip on her Instagram account on Monday and offered her own words.<\/p>\n

“By the way \u2013 not that I care \u2013 I shook her hand as most women do,” Putintseva wrote. “Clearly not according to the \u2018hugging protocol\u2019 some men seem to follow.”<\/p>\n

The incident began when Putintseva slapped Sakkari\u2019s hand at the end following the loss. Sakkari started jawing at Putintseva, and Putintseva responded with a curtsy. The heated moment only escalated from there.<\/p>\n

Sakkari addressed the incident in her post-match interview after Putintseva walked toward the locker room.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think she’s going to invite me for dinner for the rest of our lives, but I don’t care, to be honest,” she said,\u00a0via Tennis.com<\/a>. “I have very good friends, and I’ll go to dinner with them. Let me leave it here, and just say that I have respect for her as a player, but that’s it.”<\/p>\n

Sakkari is set to face Ekaterina Alexandrova in the Round of 16 of the tournament.<\/p>\n
