Belarusian tennis star Aryna Sabalenka won her first Grand Slam title yesterday. With this, she also became the first neutral player to win the Grand Slam. Ever since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine started, players from Russia and Belarus are playing without their flags.

As per tradition, the winner’s name is engraved on the trophy before presenting it to them. While all of us have at a point in time thought about the artisan who does the job, a recent video explains how quickly they have to work.

Fans react as a viral video of last-minute finish to Australian Open trophy after Aryna Sabalenka wins goes viral

In the latest Reddit thread, we can see how the skilled artist engraves the name of a winning player after the final at Australian Open. Yesterday, Aryna Sabalenka defeated Kazakh tennis star Elena Rybakina to lift her first Grand Slam title.

The Belarusian tennis star was among the prominent players who missed out on the Wimbledon Championship because of a nationality based ban. She strongly condemned the move later. However, in the Australian Open, she finally clinched her first Grand Slam title.

In the viral video, we can see that the artisan watches them play live on tv. As soon as Sabalenka hits the winning shot, he picks up the trophy. Within minutes, the artisan engraves her name on the trophy that she receives later.

Tennis fans went crazy as they saw the perfect last minute work. Here’s how they reacted.

“Wait, so he just free hands it?”

“Cant tell if someone is under the table.”

“I was shocked as well! Seems so risky!”

“Went on a tour this week, that room at the star tof the tournament is for the players to visit a podiatrist to look at their feet, but then becomes the engravers room for the end of the tournament.”

Referring to the first neutral player winning Australian Open, a fan wrote, “It helps that he didn’t have to write “(BLR)” lol. What’s been the longest last name they had to do?”

Another fan came up with a very valid question. “So what does this guy do for a job the rest of the year?”

And here’s the reply to the above query from another fan. “Probably engraves?”

What if a human error happens? No chance here probably. “Can a spelling mistake be undone? Say Jokovich instead of Djokovic…”

“At least when Federer and Nadal played, they could do the R before hand.”

While most of the fans are appreciating the work, they were quick to crack a few jokes. However, given the pressure of such a big stage and the demand for detail, the man did a really efficient and great job. We hope they pay him well. After all, it is the ultimate silverware that the players put their blood and sweat into.
