Aryna Sabalenka’s thoughtful victory speech at the Cincinnati Open included one slight slip-up.
Moments after defeating American Jessica Pegula in Monday’s final, 6-3, 7-5, Sabalenka — currently ranked second in the world — expressed gratitude for her support system, particularly her “boyfriends.”
“And of course, a special thank you to my boyfriends, boyfriend. I said, ‘Boyfriends,’ oh my gosh,” she said as the crowd — including her partner, Georgios Frangulis — laughed at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio.“That’s my terrible English, guys. Thank you to my boyfriend to keep me happy every day, thank you so much.
