Sabalenka: "When I have the public against me, I don't feel it".
Aryna Sabalenka won another title on Sunday.
Facing Qinwen Zheng in the final, ranked 7th in the world and supported by an entire nation, the Belarusian was pushed to the limit, but finally came through (6-3, 5-7, 6-3).
Asked in the press conference about this latest achievement, Sabalenka spoke in particular about playing with the public against you: "I don't listen to the public when they're against me.
I don't focus on that anymore, only on myself and my team, on technical and tactical issues.
I'm glad I lost the US Open 2023 final to Coco Gauff.
It made me. I learned a lot and now, when I have the public against me, I don't feel it."
