The Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka made peace with the American Coco Gauff, His executioner in the Roland Garros final, just arriving at Wimbledon, on whose central track they trained as part of a Grand Slam tournament that begins this Monday, June 30, and will conclude on Sunday, July 13.
The world number one, which has never felt comfortable in the London grass, intends in this edition to reverse its fate in the event, even if it has a complicated competition table ahead.
In his work to face the competition, Sabalenka included an hour of training with the Serbian Novak Djokovic and other minutes of rehearsal with the Italian Jannik Sinner. “It is another level of intensity,” said the tennis player, stressing that “I was with Jannik about ten minutes, and I was exhausted.” Another level, “she certified.
He had advice from Novak Djokovic, That “does not stop talking if you leave him, although he always gives you a sincere advice. We were talking thirty minutes, and I thank him for everything he told me. He is the best.”
Although he changed his mind later, when the Serbian invaded his press conference, since his turn against the media was immediately later. “They are asking me about what you told me, but first let me ask what you think about our training, how did you see my level. Am I good,” the Belarusian told Serbio.
And he did an analysis, ironic and sincere. Stinging. At the beginning of Zalamero. “You have the potential, you are a really talented player. You have good blows, good technique.” “Thank you,” said Sabalenka.

“Can I be honest?” Djokovic. Before the affirmative of his colleague, he said that “you lack intensity on the track, you don't have enough.”
“Really, that's what you're going to say?” Sabalenka. Djokovic finished: “It's too flat. You have to relax and give more power to your blows.”
Sabalenkka ended: “Before this was my favorite player, but obviously not anymore,” said the always bellruused, which maintains an excellent relationship with a Djokovic that stressed his ironic vein. Known, but also caught Aryna, before the media. 'Nole' ended up laughing like a few times. It was 'chopped', he won the pulse.
