Irina Sabalenka put out an apology today online,
although if you saw this, she had some kind of outburst perhaps
at fans supporting you in yesterday's match that she said frustrated
her that they were cheering when she would make a mistake.
Were you picking up on any of that during the match,
or do you have any reaction?
Well, I mean, I get Ukraine, I mean, as we see,
there's many, many Ukrainians, many,
many flags and many Ukrainian supporters are here.
And of course, they want me to win in this particular match.
And I think we played many times with Irina and it's always,
you know, she has her fans, I have my fans.
So every, every country, every match that we played been
I know kind of kind of different
so yeah I mean it's I've seen the glimpse of it because obviously
it's in the social media
but yeah it's just hope that you know the matches between us is
respected you know in a way because yes
sometimes you know in some matches that we played
also been not great comments towards me.
In regards of the war, so yes,
it is like this and I mean in the social media sometimes
you know the things are turned around a little bit,
so yes, it's like that.
