Laurent Lokoli Waves Off Martin Klizan's Handshake Attempt at French Open

Martin Klizan outlasted Laurent Lokoli in five sets to advance past the French Open's first round. Following the loss at Roland Garros, Lokoli refused Klizan's handshake.

He instead shooed away the victor, who took the hint and walked off. Before this moment, Klizan spiritedly celebrated a point earned during the triumphant final set:

Per the Daily Express' Joe Short, Lokoli accused his opponent of playing 'possum earlier in the bout.

"He made out to be hurting his leg for two sets and was then running around like a rabbit in the fifth set," Lokoli said.

Klizan will face either 2016 French Open finalist Andy Murray or Andrey Kuznetsov in the second round.
