Belarusian professional tennis player Aryna Sabalenka was relatively unknown until 2017. But the 25-year-old has marked her territory in the tennis world. According to the Women’s Tennis Association, she is rated as the top player in the world in both women’s singles and doubles. But that is not all. With 19 titles in her hand—13 in singles and six in doubles—she is a force to be reckoned with. Her perfect display of athleticism has earned her praise from many stars. But recently, the CEO of Barstool Sports has given her a new title, one that has ‘queen’ written all over it.

The CEO of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy, has won the love of fans for his vocal personality. As a man who prefers to give his views on sports and pop culture, Portnoy doesn’t shy away from appreciating talent when he sees one. It all started when Portnoy put a big wager on the tennis prodigy. He impressed Sabalenka, who in turn invited him to watch the final match in her box. After putting his $50,000 belief in her, the two have reunited in Miami. This time, Portnoy has crowned her with another verbal appreciation.

Dave Portnoy is all praises for Sabalenka

When Aryna Sabalenka played in the semifinals of the US Open, she gave her blood, sweat, and tears to the game. After losing the first set, she maintained her professionalism and didn’t let failure cloud her ambition. The Belarusian player emerged victorious and won the match. It was her gameplay that impressed Dave Portnoy, who bet $50,000 against Madison Keys. With this, it looks like the two have reunited. Portnoy’s Twitter account confirms that.

Captioning the picture, Dave Portnoy shared a joyous picture with Aryna Sabalenka. The post read, “The Queen of Tennis @SabalenkaA.” The two were seen posing happily together. After what Dave Portnoy had stated regarding the tennis player, this statement stands even more accurate. When the match had come to an end, Portnoy had confirmed his love for Aryna’s playing style. He said, “I was animated, I liked watching her, and I kind of fell in love with her style”.
