The day after Koltsov died, she practised in full view of the public before the Miami Open. A few days later, she took on herat that tournament, the only slight acquiescence to the situation being to forgo her usual media duties. It was little surprise when she made early exits in Miami and the event in Stuttgart that followed.
“But at the end I would say I was struggling a lot healthwise because I didn’t stop. It was really emotional and really stressful, and kind of damaged my mental health at that point. “At the end I figured out that it was much needed. Now I feel physically and mentally much better and much stronger.” “From the TV point of view, from the ticket selling, from every point of view, it’s unfair,” Sabalenka said. “Of course, guys are always going to be physically stronger than women but it doesn’t mean we’re not working as hard as they do. Women deserve to be paid an equal amount of money that men do.”‘I feel physically and mentally much better and much stronger.’ Aryna Sabalenka after winning the Cincinnati Open final, her first title since winning the Australian Open in January.
