the belarusian Aryna Sabalenkanumber 2 in the world, did not tremble at its premiere in Roland Garroswhere he removed a blunt 6-3 and 6-2 from ukrainian Martha Kostyukwho refused to congratulate him because of the Ukrainian conflict.
This is not the first time that the player from Kiev has been critical of the participation of Russian and Belarusian players on the circuit despite the military aggression they have carried out against his country since February 2022. Also at the last US Open he refused congratulate the Belarusian Victoria Azarenka, where she limited herself to crashing the racket. This time, his attitude earned him boos from the public in the tournament’s opening match on center court in Paris.
The winner of the last Australian Open began his participation in Roland Garros tiringly, where he has not been able to overcome the third round and in the first stages of the rivalry he is at the mercy of his rival, who is aged 20 and 39 in the ranking .
But the 25-year-old player from Minsk gradually regained his best version, ending up scoring the match in 1 hour and 12 minutes. Her rival will appear in the match between Hungarian Panna Udvardy, 97 in the world, and Belarusian Iryna Shymanovich.
