The Belarusian, 26, and her team, including boyfriend Geogios Frangulis appeared to pretend to urinate over the runners-up trophy. That came after her shocking meltdown following defeat to Madison Keys in Melbourne. Reflecting on the odd video, Holmes shockingly told GB News: "I know for a fact the FA Cup is often used as a receptacle for urine.

"Players have told me. More than one player over the years has told me that.". Holmes failed to elaborate on the disturbing claims, including who told him and when it's believed to have happened. Meanwhile, fans have torn into Sabalenka for her behaviour on Saturday.
