"Tomorrow is my birthday, I hope to be in a good mood. Tomorrow I turn 26. It is a hard defeat to accept, but at the same time, it is not that I lost it easily or that I did not give my best. Today I gave everything, I can only be proud of myself and hope that next year it falls on my side. In my case, I'm going to suffer one day, tomorrow I'll leave for Rome, so I will forget it quickly," Aryna Sabalenka told the press.
I was surprised that in the third set, I felt the best mentally: Aryna Sabalenka
Meanwhile, Sabalenka seems very disappointed after losing the game of the marquee event against Iga Swaitek. She revealed where she lost the momentum and went on to lose the game.
“I was surprised that in the third set, I felt the best mentally. I remember exactly when he was playing (Daniil) Medvedev in Australia (Open final in 2022) and it clicked for him. He also struggled for a bit of time, he was tense and I think stressed. That kind of gave me hope that maybe it will click, even after two hours," she said after the win.
