In addition, in 2019, he paid tribute to his deceased father, who was only 43 years old.
Sabalenka showed how much the tennis game developed. He confronted one of the few players who played more aggressively and hit the ball harder, and made a performance defense that would not think he was talented at the beginning of his career.
He sliced the ball back and descended to direct Anisimova’s low bullets.
“ He really plays aggressive tennis, ” Sabalenka said. I think in Wimbledon (Anisimova beat him in semi -finals). I doubted my decisions, I was stopping my arms a lot, making a lot of mistakes. Without a mistake, I would just slow down the speed and then go in and go to your winners.
“ I knew it would be a very fast game as I entered this match, very aggressive. I was just trying to stay as low as possible. I was just trying to return this speed, this pressure to him and see how he could handle it. ‘
As in each of the four Grand Slam titles, two and two in Australia, Sabalenka won in 2019 to his father Sergey, who only died at the age of 43.
“ `He passed away very depressed, ” he said. It was hard for me for my family.
But at that moment, I decided to take our surname as a motivation to put it in history. I want to believe it, and I think I feel the protection there and I know it is my power. So it means a lot. ‘
