Aryna Sabalenka joked about Iga Świątek’s results

For now, the Belarusian has a much easier path. Sabalenka outplays her opponents with a smile and after the victory she is in a good mood, devoting time to… her Polish competitor.
– Last year, Iga won so many sets 6-0, so it was one of my goals to try to get closer to her – admitted the tennis player born in Minsk with a smile.
She managed to add two “bagels” (i.e. 6-0 wins in a set) to her list, thanks to a very impressive win over the Ukrainian. Łesia Tsurenko could only admire Sabalenka’s performances on the court in Melbourne.
