Sabalenka took the lead in the first set, but the second set took a turn for the worse and became 1-4 down, saying: "It was windy and I was too emotional and had some unforced errors. I think she won the game, not because she played well, but because I made too many mistakes, if you look at it from an outsider, it's kind of like those simple mistakes. ”

Sabalenka, who was under pressure from public opinion, also posted on social media today to explain, "It was a tough game, Coco coped with the situation better than me, she fully deserved this victory, she performed well, I want to give her the praise she deserves." ”

Sabalenka added, "I made 70 turnovers so I can't pretend it was a good day, but those two things happened together and I didn't play my best, and Coco stepped up, calm and focused, she deserves this title and this respect, and it's time for me to rest, learn and come back stronger." ”
