Belarus' star tennis player Aryna Sabalanka is currently playing in the US Open. She defeated China's Quan Zheng in straight sets in her quarterfinal match. Sabalenka won the match against Zheng at Arthur Ashe Stadium by a margin of 6-1, 6-2 and entered the semi-finals in a spectacular fashion. As soon as she won this match, she made a big announcement for the audience. She has said that if she is successful in winning the semi-final match, she will give free drinks to all the spectators. By doing this, Sabalanka is definitely seeking the support of the audience, where she will face Emma Navarro of America.
Sablanka is US Open runner-up
Winning a semi-final match is not easy for Sablanka, who was the runner-up of the US Open last year. We are saying this because if she wins, she will have to spend $ 529,000 i.e. about Rs 4.4 crore on drinks. Let us tell you that the difference in prize money between the semi-finalist and the finalist is $ 8 lakh (Rs 6.7 crore). The winner of the US Open women's singles title will get $ 3.51 million (Rs 29 crore). The runner-up will get $ 1.8 million (Rs 15 crore) and the semi-finalist will get $ 1 million (Rs 8.5 crore).
What did Sebalanka say after the victory?
“As I always say,” Sablanka said after her win against China's Quan Zheng. “It's not about being the favourite. It's about what you are willing to fight for. It will be about the tough moments in matches when you don't feel your best and you have to overcome that. I feel very lucky that they all consider me their favourite. I will do my best to win this beautiful trophy.”
How was Sebalanka's performance?
Sablanka was in great form in the match against Zheng. Before the semi-final match, she had lost only four serves in the entire tournament. She lost to Coco Gauff in the US Open final last year. So far, Sablanka has won two Grand Slam trophies, where she won two Australian Open tournaments. She would like to add another Grand Slam title to her kitty by winning the US Open this time.
