Yulia Putintseva has hit back at Maria Sakkari after their feisty exchange at the Bad Homburg Open in Germany went viral.
Sakkari beat Putintseva 7-5 7-6 (8-6) in a close encounter before the pair shook hands and exchanged insults.
One of the comments made by Sakkari to Putintseva which the microphone picked up was “when you shake hands with someone, look them in the eyes” followed by “nobody likes you”.
In her on court-interview, former world No 3 Sakkari said: “I don’t think she’s going to invite me for dinner for the rest of our lives, but I don’t care.
“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.”
On Monday, Putintseva posted on her Instagram story “by the way – not that I care – I shook her hand as most women do. Clearly not according to the ‘hugging protocol’ some men seem to follow.”
Putintseva also reposted a video from Instagram account The Tennis Pulse which showed a clip of Sunday’s incident where Sakkari said “when you shake hands, look at the other person in the eye”, before switching to the Greek place shaking hands with Emma Raducanu and Martina Trevisan in different matches. In both instances, Sakkari’s head was not looking at her opponent in the pictures.
In the same video, Putintseva posted a caption of “And the plot thickens…” with a clown emoji.
Jamming? Breadstick? Moonball? Jack Draper, Taylor Fritz, Madison Keys and more stars from the ATP and WTA Tours attempt to explain some of the lesser-known tennis terminology
Last year, Putintseva apologised after an awkward exchange with a ball girl during her third-round US Open exit.
A video circulated which showed a ball girl tossing two balls to Putintseva, who stared back at her without moving as the balls bounced away and along the ground.
The 30-year-old lost 6-3 6-4 to Italy’s Jasmine Paolini and blamed two missed break points in the sixth game of the second as the cause of her misplaced frustration.

Quem é e como joga Sudakov, o médio ofensivo ucraniano que o Benfica contratou ao Shakhtar?
Jogador de 22 anos ©IMAGO Já em cima do fecho do mercado, que em Portugal será na noite de segunda-feira, o Benfica oficializou a contratação de Georgiy Sudakov, um médio ofensivo - que também pode jogar noutras posições, mas já lá vamos - de apenas 22 anos e que chega à Luz proveniente do Shakhtar Donetsk. Ao contrário do que se esperava, o internacional ucraniano foi contratado por empréstimo, embora os encarnados estejam obrigados a adquirir o seu passe no final da temporada por 20,25 milhões de euros, sendo que ficaram outros 5 milhões dependentes do cumprimento de objetivos.Mas quem é, afinal, Sudakov?

Soupeři básní o Dukle, trenér se ošívá: Na vysokou školu fotbalu nám něco chybí
Místo toho se v sobotu vpodvečer na Julisce zrodila plichta 1:1.Místo výhry musela Duklu alespoň těšit slova uznání, která pronášel na tiskovce hradecký kouč David Horejš: „Respektuju sílu a kvalitu domácích. Je to úplně jiná Dukla než v minulé sezoně.“„V klubu se změnilo snad úplně všechno. Je to přirozený proces,“ navazoval domácí kouč Holoubek, když se posadil na stejnou židli, aby po Horejšovi zhodnotil remízový zápas. „Davidovi děkuju za kompliment a přeju mu, aby další zápas vyhrál. Má dobrý tým a on je dobrý trenér.“Co chybělo, abyste Hradec porazili?Viděli jsme remízový zápas, protože jsme prospali jsme první poločas nebo minimálně jeho část. Byli jsme nepřesní a chaotičtí. Stálo nás to inkasovanou branku. Měli jsme pak šance zápas otočit, ale nepovedlo se to. Musím říct, že kluci ve druhém poločase předvedli slušný výkon.Foto: Sport.czStatistiky duelu Dukly s Hradcem.Co se vám zamlouvalo?Vytvářeli jsme si šance a zajímavé situace. Hráli jsme […]

College football winners, losers in Week 1: LSU flexes national title-caliber defense, Arch Manning falls flat
College football has never been more unpredictable as the transfer portal and NIL deliver massively transformed rosters. And with that, Week 1 gave us one of the most electric weeks of college football that we've had in years. Right off the top, five AP Top 25 teams fell before the end of Week 1, including three in the top 10. Texas became the first preseason No. 1 team to lose its opener since Miami fell to BYU in 1990. But even down the board, there were major shakeups. Auburn looked the part of a complete team in a dominant win against Baylor. North Dakota gave Kansas State a tremendous scare. Tulane crushed Big Ten foe Northwestern by three touchdowns. Every game is a moment to be shocked. College football rankings: Ohio State, Florida State set for big moves as Texas, Alabama drop […]
