Oh, tennis world in chaos again! After Maria Sakkari defeated Julia Putintseva in straight sets at the Bad Homburg tournament, instead of a sportsmanlike handshake, a full-blown drama erupted! Although they formally shook hands, tensions exploded into an open argument on the court. Putintseva swore, gestured aggressively, clearly showing her displeasure with Sakkari’s behavior, while Sakkari angrily shouted that nobody likes to be stared in the eyes during a handshake! The referee had to step in to stop this wild quarrel, and Putintseva sarcastically thanked before heading to the locker room. This isn’t the first time the 30-year-old Kazakh has been involved in controversy – remember her US Open incident last year? Who says tennis isn’t drama? Sound off below – did Putintseva go too far or did Sakkari deserve that reaction?
