The Belarusian Aryna Sabalenkadefending champion in the tournament in Madrid that starts this Tuesday, confirmed this Tuesday that he does not like to watch the games of his main rival and that He prefers to watch men’s fights, which he considers “more interesting.”
“I don’t usually watch their games“he said about opponents like the Polish Iga Swiatek or the Kazakh Elena Rybakina.
“I’ve played against them a lot and, if I do it again, I’m sure my coach will show me their games again. I don’t like to watch a lot of tennis. I prefer to watch men’s tennis than women’s tennis. I think it is more logical and more interesting to see.“said Sabalanka in a press conference before his participation in Madrid, where he has already won twice.
“I proved that I can do it here“he said. “Altitude helps, because the ball goes faster and faster. Yeah, I think it really fits my game.”
For the world number two, currently the limits of his game lie in his work capacity.
“It’s all about work, knowing how much you’re willing to do to get there. I’m sure I’ll fight for all the points, that’s my mentality this year“, he claimed.
Sabalenka has words of encouragement for Paula Badosahis friend, who has a chronic back injury.
“I love this girl. We have been friends for several years. The best thing is to find someone to connect with you on the circuit. I really hope he can get back on top and overcome the injuries.. I feel lucky that I don’t have to face him in the first round here in Madrid,” said the Belarusian, who was not included in the first round at the Caja Mágica.
