Aryna Sabalenka spoke at length after her match at the improvements she’s made to the variety of shots in her arsenal.
💬 “I think mostly for the clay I improved physically. I have more variety on the shots. I can go flat, I can with the spin, I can go back and play in defense. That’s what works the best on the clay court for me.”
The world no. 1 then admitted to being surprised at handing a bagel to the defending champion.
“The way the third set went was shocking for me, to be honest. I’m super happy that I found the rhythm on my serve, and it was much easier after I figured, okay, I’m in control of my serve, and also I put so much pressure on her serve.”
