I am excited to play at this level. SABALENKA
After the match, Aryna commented
“I’m excited to be on this level, to have this opportunity to play with the great players, be one of the great players. I’m focused on each match. Don’t really want to think about titles, then you’re not respecting your opponent, and you need to respect them because all of them, they’re really great players. All of them, it’s really tough to beat.”
Aryna will face the American teenager Amanda Anisimova in the 3rd round. They have never played each other and Anisimova can definitely pull an upset. This will be a match to watch!
