Two weeks after her failure in the final against Iga Swiatek in Madrid, Aryna Sabalenka once again lost to the Pole on Saturday, but this time in Rome. The Pole won in two sets (3-2, 6-3) in the final. A setback to which Sabalenka returned during the trophy presentation by surprising the public, after having congratulated his opponent: “Of course, a last word but not the least, I would like to thank my team for helping me lose another final. It’s your fault guys. I’m obviously laughing,” said the player, who made the whole audience laugh.
