"To be honest I think if we play full court, full rules, it would be really tough for me to compete against guys. I mean physically they are much stronger, speed, power of the balls, everything is much stronger so it’s tough to compete. But in these conditions I feel like we are having here with a 9% smaller court," Sabalenka said.

"At least I have a higher chance to compete and see if I can win in these conditions and if I can maybe I will go for a regular match against a guy. I think some of them maybe I would be able to win. If there is a guy who doesn’t have a powerful serve, for example, I think I could get a couple of wins but it’s not like I would beat every one of them," she added.
