Livid Lokoli not shakin' and stirred

PARIS - As anyone who has ever played or watched tennis - professional or recreational - knows, the post-match handshake at the net is as much a customary part of the sport as a racket, ball or serve.

So when a player who lost at the French Open rebuffed his opponent's attempt at the ritual on Tuesday, it became the talk of the tournament.

On a day when No 1 Andy Murray and No 3 Stan Wawrinka won, and a couple of top-10 players unaccustomed to long stays at Roland Garros - Alexander Zverev in the men's draw, Johanna Konta in the women's - lost, the most buzzworthy development stemmed from a match between one guy who stands 50th in the world and another who is 285th.
