On the other hand, Aryna Sabalenka ranked second in the world and faced a loss against Anhelina Kalinina. This match marked Sabalenkas’s appearance since the passing of her former partner, Konstantin Koltsov, at age 42 due to what authorities described as an ‘apparent suicide’ incident in Miami.
Despite this setback, Sabalenka has demonstrated resilience during this period. She has requested privacy for herself and Koltsov’s family as they navigate through their grief.
She has received much support and empathy from the tennis community.
