‘Please, Please!’- Set to Face American Hope Coco Gauff in the US Open Finals, Aryna Sabalenka Poses a Quirky Request in Front of the Crowd at the Arthur Ashe Stadium

Aryna Sabalenka is powering through her US Open stint as she beat several top players to reach the final of the championship. Sabalenka faced a local player, Madison Keys, in the semifinal which put the crowd against her. Now face another American, Coco Gauff, in the final. Already not the home favorite in the semifinal bout, Sabalenka will once again have the majority of the crowd against her in the final. The situation made the Belarusian beauty hope for some supporters as she makes a request jokingly in the post-match presser. 

The Belarusian player just played a fantastic semifinal. With the home crowd against her and a terrible start, many assumed that she was ready to lose and the US Open would have an all-American final. But Sabalenka did not relent and will now aim to repeat the feat in the final.

Aryna Sabalenka on being against the local favorite once again

American fans of any sport are some of the most passionate when it comes to supporting their locals. No matter who they are playing against and no matter their history, an American player will most likely be the favorite of the audience in any match. A similar scenario took place during Sabalenka’s semifinal bout and will most likely take place during the big final.

The Belarusian beauty is aware of the situation that will drum up in the next match and joked about it after her win against Madison Keys.

“Of course, I would prefer have someone else or crowd would be, like, a little bit probably like same to both players (smiling), but, I mean, today’s match I think gonna help me in the finals, because I mean, I’ll be fine with this support. I’ll be all right. I’ll still hoping, I’m still hoping that probably some of them will be supporting me. Will be just a little bit. Just sometimes, please. Please.“

Red-faced, she laughed it off and finished the game in her favor to move on to the final. She will now have to face another American in the final bout, where she will be looking to recreate the miracle. Who do you think will win?
