From where to where, Sabalenka was almost on the edge of losing the clash against Svitolina but the inextricable mistakes of Svitolina have prompted a rigid debacle within this process. No mercy from the professional Belarusian tennis competitor. This time, I appreciate the approach of Svitolina with her facial expression to Aryna Sabalenka. That's what I want to see from herself to Belarusian players instead of Russians.

Sabalenka is so strong mentally and physically.
