Arina Sabalenko suffered a dramatic defeat against Karolina Mukhova and stopped in the semifinals of Roland Garros-2023, but the athlete from Belarus seems to have already overcome this setback and announced at the press conference that she also received good news.

Aryna Sabalenko will be able to play at Wimbledon-2023

Despite the fact that Wimbledon organizers lifted the ban on players from Russia and Belarus, Arina announced in mid-May that she did not know whether she would be able to participate in the third Grand Slam of the year.

Meanwhile, the Australian Open champion has been granted a UK visa and is happy to be playing on the London grass.

“I already have my visa ready so I can celebrate going to Wimbledon, which is great news. I’m super excited, I’m really enjoying playing there, I’m really enjoying the atmosphere.

It was very difficult for me not to play at Wimbledon last season, so I can’t wait to come back and play my best tennis there.” – Aryna Sabalenkoat the press conference.

• Arya’s best result at Wimbledon is reaching the semifinals of the 2021 draw (she was defeated by Karolina Plishkova, score 5-7, 6-4, 6-4).

Aryna Sabalenko called Igu Sviatek the favorite of the Roland Garros-2023 final

Mukhova beat Sabalenka 7-6(5), (5)6-7, 7-5, but Arina believes that the Czech will have a very difficult task in the final and says that Iga Svyatek is the favourite.

“At the moment I’m mentally exhausted, but I think it was a tough game that I lost. I think it’s normal to be overwhelmed at some point in these two-week tournaments where you don’t stop playing.

They’re always very physical matches, so I’ll take the next few days. No, just kidding, I’m going to rest, recover, and then get back to training

Iga plays a great level of tennis, goes to the net a lot, is aggressive all the time and closes a lot of points on the line, which can sometimes cause you problems. It is very difficult to score a point against her. In principle, she shows a very high level of tennis” – Aryna Sabalenko.

• For Iga Sviatek, this will be her fourth Grand Slam final (third at Roland Garros), and so far the Pole has won every time.
  

The Roland Garros tournament takes place from May 28 to June 11, has a total prize pool of 49.6 million euros, and is the 127th tournament. Iga Sviatek and Rafael Nadal (14-time winner in Paris) became the champions of the title.
