Belarusian tennis player Vera Lapko said that many coaches of her compatriot Arina Sabalenko They considered the athlete stupid, and she herself could behave unbalanced.
– We are the same age and play constantly. In head-to-head matches, it wasn’t like I was constantly beating her, it was always a 50/50 situation. Maybe at the age of 16, the percentage of head-to-head matches became 60/40 in my country. service. But she has always been a dangerous opponent for me, because Arina has power, she has strength, she has pressure.
All of Arina’s coaches called her stupid. I don’t want to say now precisely who we are talking about. Experts believed that Sabalenka would never achieve anything. Yes, indeed, she could go crazy, her ball could fly parallel to the field. Arina often had mood swings. But this never excluded the fact that she always worked very hard,” Lapko quotes Metaratings.ru.
Sabalenka is a two-time Grand Slam winner. The 25-year-old tennis player has won the Australian Open twice in a row.
