Tennis player Aryna Sabalenka has her first game at the Masters tournament in Miami since the death of her former boyfriend Konstantin Koltsov won. The Australian Open winner from Belarus defeated her Spanish friend 6:4, 6:3 in the second round Paula Badosa through.
Sabalenka will now face Anhelina Kalinina from Ukraine.
Before the start of the tournament, she reacted with great sadness to the death of the former ice hockey professional. “Konstantin’s death is an unimaginable tragedy, and even though we were no longer together, my heart is broken,” the Belarusian said in a statement.
The 25-year-old also asked that her privacy and that of her family be respected “during this difficult time.” Koltsow, a former NHL player, died on Monday at the age of 42, according to media reports.
