Sabalenka's performance in the final of the US Open attracted a lot of attention from the public, who were delighted with the game of the Belarusian.
Andrea Petković, once an important face of the tennis scene, commented on the performance of Sabalenka, who managed to win the trophy despite the pressure.
Watching the US Open, both in the men's and women's categories, was very exciting. We witnessed many surprises and great moments, but in the end the two best, Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka, once again showed their dominance.
"We have done it. We have come to the end. A deep breath, a double portion of the blackest coffee on earth and a deep talk with a non-tennis-person – that’s what it will take to get over the last three weeks."- she said, as quoted by tennisuptodate.
Sabalenka knows how to handle pressure
The Belarusian tennis player showed that she knows how to handle pressure, and the public followed her performance with great anticipation, believing that she could really win the US Open title. When you feel such strong pressure and when many analysts and critics mention your name day after day, it is certainly not easy to perform in such conditions.
However, the famous tennis player showed her teeth, remained brave until the very end and managed to meet the expectations of both fans and the public. Petković is delighted with her readiness, mental strength and desire to win the trophy.
"Despite Sinncaraz III, despite Naomi Osaka’s renaissance and despite Amanda’s amandaness – Aryna Sabalenka was the standout player to me during the last few days of the US Open. There was so much pressure on the world number one to win a major title in the last possible moment… UNLESS she got the US Open title.".- she said.
This victory opens up many avenues for her, and we believe that the Belarusian will continue to be an equally dominant figure on the tennis scene.
