A tense situation unfolded after the conclusion of the WTA 500 Brisbane 2026 final, where Aryna Sabalenka defeated Marta Kostyuk. It is widely known that the Ukrainian player avoids greeting Russian and Belarusian players, prompting the organizers to clarify that there would be no joint photo session of the finalists with the trophies following the awards ceremony. Moreover, they did not exchange greetings after the match ended, although the world number 1 had kind words for the Ukrainian in her speech.
