Losing in the final has a special impact on athletes, and it seems that Belarusian tennis player Aryna Sabalenka could not bear the defeat in the final of the US Open tennis tournament, in a moment of anger that we rarely see in women’s tennis.
American Coco Gauff, ranked sixth in the world, turned the tables on Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, second, on Saturday, when he defeated her 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the final of the US Open, the last of the four major tennis tournaments, and won the first major title in her professional career. .
The 19-year-old Gauff needed two hours and 6 minutes to achieve her fourth victory over Sabalenka in 6 matches, between which she won her first major title in the second final, after losing at Roland Garros in 2022.
In her first final in Flushing Meadows, after her best result in the US Championship was the semi-finals, Sabalenka failed to win the second major title after the first in Australia earlier this year.
Moment of anger
The camera installed in the players’ tunnel showed an unusual moment of anger from Sabalenka after the coronation ceremony ended.
Sabalenka placed the “silver plate”, the prize for second place, on the ground, without caring, before she took her racket out of the playing bag and smashed it completely on the ground.
Sabalenka smashed the racket by repeatedly hitting it on the ground, in an apparent moment of anger over the loss.
This shot spread on social media, and followers noted that it was an unusual shot in the world of women’s tennis, while it was repeated several times in men’s competitions.
