Sabalenka enjoyed an evening at the stadium after her stunning campaign at the Miami Open. The World No. 1 beat Jessica Pegula for the title in Miami to extend her brilliant start to the season. Such was the three-time Grand Slam champion’s form that she did not drop a set throughout the tournament and got past the likes of Danielle Collins, Qinwen Zheng, and Jasmine Paolini.
Fresh from her triumph, Sabalenka headed to the Chase Stadium and was greeted by Beckham, who gifted her Inter Miam’s iconic pink jersey. The jersey even had number 1 on the back, which Sabalenka was thrilled about.
“I love it, I love it so much. I’m enjoying my time here. Thank you so much for cheering me on. It’s just so good to be at home and winning a title is amazing. To be able to attend other sports…I just feel so happy right now,” Aryna Sabalenka said.
The Miami Open drew a lot of attention from players in the United States, including Lionel Messi, who recently attended to see Novak Djokovic’s match against Camilo Ugo Carabelli. The Argentine attacker met the 24-time Grand Slam winner in the locker room and exchanged t-shirts.
