‘You Guys Want Me to Leave’ – Aryna Sabalenka’s Cincinnati Open Win Against Tunisian Crowd Favorite Comes at an Unexpected Cost to Leave Her Baffled

Belarusian player Aryna Sabalenka is in the form of her life at the moment. After a sensational performance at the quarter-finals, she made her way all the way to the semi-finals of the Cincinnati Masters where she lost against Karolina Muchova. With a win against her dearest friend Ons Jabeur in the quarter-finals, she also took her Wimbledon semi-final revenge when the latter won in an emphatic encounter. However, after securing a crucial win, she went ahead to thank the fans for their amazing support.

But there was one thing that made her feel awkward about the fans. While jokingly speaking, she highlighted the fact that she felt her fans took a sudden twist in her match against Ons.

After her triumphant victory against Ons Jabeur, Aryna Sabalenka took center stage at the post-match speech, offering insights that ranged from her gameplay strategies to cherished fan support. In a lighthearted moment, Sabalenka humorously commented on the contrasting atmospheres she encountered.

With a chuckle, she recounted, “On the previous matches, I kind of felt the support. Today, I felt like you guys want me to leave.” Her candid and witty comment not only illustrated her ability to find light-heartedness at the moment, but also emphasized the nuances of playing before a live audience.

Sabalenka talks about the bad scheduling of matches and its impact

In a recent interview, Aryna Sabalenka highlighted the impact that the players are having amid poor scheduling. She went ahead to highlight that since the Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz is having a match late in the evening, it would delay her match even further, even though she has a match the next day.

This has been a serious issue which not only Sabalenka but most players in WTA have dealt with, including the likes of Coco Gauff and many others. However, even after this, she has managed to shine brightly and make a deep impact on the tennis world.

Thus, Sabalenka’s cheeky comments relate to the importance of having fans’ support behind your back, as it can help you make the most of your matches.
