After facing a defeat against a 19-year-old in the US Open championship match, Aryna Sabalenka is once again making headlines for the way she handled the shock defeat. The 25-year-old tennis player was not happy with the way she performed during the championship match, making a lot of self-made errors and paving the way for the moment of Coco Gauff‘s life. However, her conduct has turned the tide of the conversation to something else entirely.

How tennis players face big moments of defeat is a question from the unwritten playbook of sportsmanship. Recently, Martina Navratilova reported to her close friend Chris Evert the funniest way of handling defeat, while tennis fans tried to bring that moment back to life. Let’s take a look at how the 18-time Grand Slam champion handled defeat while stealing the show with her realistic acting.

Martina Navratilova brings in Chris Evert’s old performance 

While everybody talked about the 2023 Australian Open winner’s frustration after the match, a lot of tennis fans recalled how there was a time when 68-year-old Evert once handled defeat in the most hilarious way. Recently, the Czech-American former tennis legend took to her Twitter account to share a clip posted by a tennis fan that talked about how Evert was in a totally different mood when she faced a Wimbledon final defeat in 1982.

Along with that, she wrote, “That was a brilliant performance all around by Chrissie on @mncsnl-Saturday Night Live. I wish had had the chance to host too after I retired- what fun that must have been! Right. @ChrissieEvert?” It was a segment from the Saturday Night Live show that was hosted by Evert herself. In that video, she was seen throwing everything away, starting from lockers to picking out a sink, with water coming out while she went on and on about how she was not able to achieve this one victory.

American Legend Chris Evert Faces the Wrath of Tennis Fans as Bold Take on Coco Gauff’s US Open Final Opponent Backfires

40 years after that amazing acting stint, her 66-year-old friend revealed how she also wanted to grab a similar acting opportunity. Nevertheless, it won’t be wrong to say that the world’s No. 1 number one how to handle rather than going for a spontaneous mood caught everyone’s attention.

Aryna Sabalenka’s frustrated action grabs attention

After losing the US Open final, the Belarusian tennis player talked about how she will be using a new coping mechanism—drinking—to get over the defeat. But little did tennis fans know that there was more to that. Recently, a behind-the-scenes video from the locker room came to light in which the 25-year-old tennis player was seen breaking her racket in frustration.

In the video, she was seen roaring at herself, venting out her emotions at that moment while the locker room camera caught all the moments. Not only that, but the video of her destroying her racket mid-match is also going viral on social media. On the other side of the balances of sporting glory hangs immense disappointment, and Sabalenka’s reaction may not have been ideal but it is certainly understandable.
