The 23-year-old Yastremska won Thursday’s match 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, but after the final point, the customary handshake was nowhere to be found. Instead, she iced Bouchard, opting to simply shake hands with the official and wave to the crowd.
The nastiness between the two goes back a little bit.

In seven years with quarterback Dak Prescott, the Cowboys have been solid more often that not. Dallas is the owner of a 13–3 season (2016), two 12–5 seasons (2021–22) and a 10–6 season (’18), all years in which the team collected postseason berths.
However, the Cowboys have comparatively little playoff success to show for their regular season accomplishments. Dallas has made three trips to the divisional round with Prescott and lost them all, to go with a wild card loss to the 49ers in ’21.
