Aryna Sabalenka put up a brilliant show at the recently concluded US Open Women’s Singles event, in which she powered her way through to the final, but fell at the final hurdle to homegrown Coco Gauff.

The 25-year-old came in second best on Saturday as she lost to American Gauff 6-2, 3-6, 2-6 to surrender the title 

The Belarusian youngster teared up during her runner-up trophy acceptance speech and congratulated the winner Gauff, however, the outburst that followed as soon as she reached the players’ locker room reflected her disappointment and frustration on losing the Grand Slam final despite claiming the opening set in the summit clash.

A video footage of the Belarusian smashing her spare racquet on the ground multiple times, before it was rendered kaput, and disposed of it in the bin. 

The video that surfaced on social media split opinions with one group of people feeling not well at ease with the fact that a personal moment of a player who had just lost a Major final was put up in the public domain.

Legendary tennis player Andy Murray’s mum, Judy, expressed the same with her post on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, with a post that read. 

A certain section of people pointed to the fact that the tournament premises were under constant recording.

However, most people felt that the Belarusian player deserved her privacy following a difficult loss at the highest level of the sport.  nike air max 90 drip, nike air max black and green, nike air max bliss wolf grey
