The Indian Wells second-round clash between Donna Vekic and Lesia Tsurenko had plenty of entertainment but also a bitter ending, as the two players did not shake hands after the match. Tsurenko reached out to greet Vekic after securing the shock win, but the latter snubbed the gesture and quickly packed her bags and left the court, much to the surprise of those watching.Vekic, who won the Monterrey Open last week, took the opening set rather convincingly against Tsurenko on Friday. But Tsurenko, who came through the qualifiers at Indian Wells 2023, mounted a stunning comeback to eventually win 2-6, 6-2, 6-2.Their Indian Wells Round of 64 clash was a rematch of their first-rounder at the Monterrey Open, where it was Tsurenko who won the opening set 6-2. However, she retired from the match with Vekic leading 5-0 in the second set.The no-handshake act at Indian Wells did not go down well with the tennis fan community. While some claimed Vekic might have been irked by Tsurenko overplaying her injury issues during the match, others opined that irrespective of the circumstances, refusing a handshake displays a lack of sportsmanship."Backstory doesn’t matter, Vekic should have shaken Tsurenko’s hand after the match.
