During the fourth round of the tournament against Amanda Anisimova, Aryna Sabalenka’s victory was definitely her highlight. Her outfit was not a regular Nike outfit but a specially customized one. In the post-match press conference, she opened up about her dress and how she was the only one wearing the red dress that she prepared with the sports brand.

Sabalenka said, “I’m the only player who’s wearing a red dress. It’s not like I was – how to say – included in part of the process, preparing the color and everything, no. They just show me the dress I will play with, and I was super excited to wear the only red dress.” 

Along with that, she also hinted at how she was involved in the process of creating unique outfits, starting from the preparation of the color to the execution. Subsequently, she also shared a wish to have something more with Nike in the future. “I really say thanks to Nike that they gave me this opportunity to feel special. But, of course, I want to have something more, like not just the different color.”
