Arina Sabalenka got another question about Lukashenka, now she avoided answering…
Arina Sabalenka was stopped in the semifinals of Roland Garros. She had everything in her hands, she led 5:2 against Karolina Muhova and had a match point on her rival’s serve. From that moment on, she did not win a single game and was left without a chance to fight for the trophy.
After the match, some journalists at the press conference asked her again about the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko and her statement from a few days ago “that she does not support him now, because she does not support the war”. She skillfully dodged the question. “I don’t want to talk about politics today. I have already said everything I had on that subject, you have my previous statement. Give me a break from politics“, answered Arina with a smile.
She praised Karolina. “She played great tennis, at 5:2 she became even more aggressive, she was better and I can only congratulate her. That’s when I lost my rhythm, my serve, and I didn’t manage to come back.”
He is already starting preparations for Wimbledon. “I got a visa and that’s good news. I can’t wait for that tournament to go out on the court and play my best tennis”, concluded Sabalenka.
