“I want to quit tennis right now.” Sabalenka had a meltdown after her defeat
According to Tribuna. com, while trailing in the match, Sabalenka and her team could not contain their emotions.
“Alright, screw it already. Let it go, f***, let it go,” her coach Anton Dubov shouted at her.
Sabalenka herself threw her racket, smashed it on the court, and at one point shouted at herself: “How are you so annoying, Aryna!”
At the post-match press conference, Sabalenka said she is mentally “in a deep hole,” that right now she just wants to quit tennis, but she will see how she feels in a few days.
