Australian Open LIVE: Naomi Osaka retires in tears as Paula Badosa gets frosty handshake | Tennis | Sport




Paula Badosa booked her spot in the second week with a 6-4 4-6 6-3 victory over Marta Kostyuk overnight at the Australian Open.

The pair were once good friends on the tour but there was no love lost between them on Melbourne as Kostyuk gave the Spaniard a cold handshake at the net.

Afterwards, Badosa was asked about the "frosty" handshake and said it was nothing to do with her.

"No, it's just her. I think she has her own things going on with Ukraine, the war, and all these things that she's been very vocal. I'm not in that, honestly," Badosa replied.

"I think it was a bit that and maybe also that she lost a tough match, and also the conditions were tough for both of us. So I think it's a combination of everything, but I think I have nothing to do with that."
