Sabalenka talks about the bad scheduling of matches and its impact
In a recent interview, Aryna Sabalenka highlighted the impact that the players are having amid poor scheduling. She went ahead to highlight that since the Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz is having a match late in the evening, it would delay her match even further, even though she has a match the next day.
This has been a serious issue which not only Sabalenka but most players in WTA have dealt with, including the likes of Coco Gauff and many others. However, even after this, she has managed to shine brightly and make a deep impact on the tennis world.
Thus, Sabalenka’s cheeky comments relate to the importance of having fans’ support behind your back, as it can help you make the most of your matches.
