A handshake like no other...

No look, and no love lost.
In one of the oddest post-match handshake moments in recent memory, World No.66 Mattia Bellucci played with Damir Dzumhur at the end, and in the end the pair walked off court without shaking hands at all.
A fake-out handshake 😳

Dzumhur scored the 4-6 6-4 6-2 victory in what was a touch match that featured an underarm ace serve by Bellucci that was later challenged by Dzumhur to no avail.
It appears that Bellucci tries to engage in a handshake after his initial psyche dog moment, but Dzumhur was in no mood at that point.
The bad blood between these two lingers on. 63rd-ranked Dzumhur will face Sebastian Baez in the second round.
