Sabalenka wins after a stroke of fate
A duel between friends after a stroke of fate: Aryna Sabalenka returns to everyday tennis with a victory over Paula Badosa.
Successful performance in a difficult time: A few days after the death of her ex-boyfriend Konstantin Koltsow, Australian Open winner Aryna Sabalenka (25) returned to everyday tennis in Miami. The world number two from Belarus won her opening match against the Spaniard Paula Badosa 6:4, 6:3. Both players had to wait a long time for the match; on Friday it rained until the afternoon.

Badosa had stood by Sabalenka in recent days. “I know the whole situation, I know what happened. What she is going through is shocking to me too because she is my best friend and I don’t want her to suffer,” Badosa said. Sabalenka said: “Konstantin’s death is an unimaginable tragedy and although we were no longer together, my heart is broken.”
Former NHL player Koltsow died at the age of 42. The Belarusian Ice Hockey Association announced this on Tuesday. Koltsov “died suddenly,” the statement said. The police in Miami, where Koltsow died, are assuming a suicide, the authorities announced later in the day, according to AFP. Koltsow played for the Pittsburgh Penguins in the NHL from 2002 to 2006.
