The sudden demise of Aryna Sabalenka‘s boyfriend Konstantin Koltsov has left the whole tennis world in shock. As fans used to enjoy the updates that the WTA star consistently shared on social media, the sorrow wasn’t just limited to her. However, Sabalenka has surprised fans by confirming her entry for the Miami Open.

It was quite normal for the fans to almost consider Sabalenka’s withdrawal from the ongoing tournament. Acting on the contrary, it seems like the Australian Open champion is using her dominance on the court to suppress the enormous feeling of her personal loss.

Soon after the Tennis Channel confirmed Sabalenka’s continued decision to be a part of the Miami Open, another update of the tennis star made its way on social media. In the middle of this tragedy, a video recently surfaced on social media in which Sabalenka can be seen practicing at the Miami Open.

However, the sadness of her loss was clearly visible in her posture and expression. The WTA star, who is usually seen performing fun activities like dancing with her team and teasing them with her mischief, was rather seen keeping her head down as she tried to keep herself busy with the game.

The news of Koltsov’s passing, who was a former NHL player for the Pittsburgh Penguins, was confirmed by the Russian ice hockey team Salavat Yulaev Ufa, where he served as an assistant coach. “The hockey club Salavat Yulaev expresses its condolences to the family and friends of Konstantin Evgenievich Koltsov,” the news said.

As the Australian Open champion continues to be on her professional tennis journey despite the big loss, it remains to be seen if she manages to keep up her performance. In any case, fans will be looking back to the couple’s sweet memories together.
