Almost four seasons ago, Aryna Sabalenka got the most devastating news during her competitive tennis journey. The young WTA sensation’s father, a former Ice Hockey player, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 43. It was a huge tragedy that befell the Belarusian tennis player, who was quite close to her father.
Sabalenka, however, had no time to grieve as she still had a dream to fulfill that she shared with her hero and major support system. Now, despite fulfilling her late father’s wish during her phenomenal campaign at the US Open, the reigning Grand Slam champion recently got overwhelmed with emotions on a special day as she penned a heartfelt message.
