Over the years, Aryna Sabalenka has steadily climbed the WTA rankings. A former World No. 2, the Belarusian has outplayed the biggest names on the tour. However, apart from her tennis skills, the 24-year-old is also known for her gentle nature.

Following Wimbledon’s ban on Russian and Belarusian players, the 2021 semifinalist failed to participate in this year’s Championships. However, that didn’t stop her from trying her hands on the grass courts. Playing in Berlin, she suffered a first-round loss to Veronika Kudermetova. However, despite the loss, the Belarusian player has been making headlines for her commendable gesture towards a ball boy.

However, being the more dominant player, it was Kudermetova who took the third set to outplay Sabalenka.
