The Nation Newspaper It’ll be tough playing bereaved Sabalenka, says Badosa
Paula Badosa says it will be “uncomfortable” playing “best friend” Aryna Sabalenka this week, following the death of Sabalenka’s boyfriend.
World number two Sabalenka is still set to play in the Miami Open this week and will meet Badosa in the second round. Koltsov represented Belarus at the 2002 and 2010 Winter Olympics and also spent three years in the NHL with the Pittsburgh Penguins. “Playing against her, it’s also uncomfortable,” Badosa, who beat Simona Halep on the Romanian’s return after a doping ban on Tuesday, added.“She’s my best friend and I promised that. She’s a strong woman. I think she will get the power from somewhere. I hope it’s going to be a battle, a good match.”
