Online, Nole tried to teach Arina some strategies. The Belarusian athlete asked the fans to help her figure it out, and the Serb began to move in such a way that Sabalenka exclaimed: “Wow, what a beautiful view I have!”.

Arina asked the cameraman to zoom in on Novak, while Maria Sakkari (who worked with Stefanos Tsitsipas) warned her circle partner: “I’m sure your boyfriend won’t be too happy.”

The opponents of Djokovic and Sabalenka will be from the first round of Australian Open qualification.
