Aryna Sabalenka eased through her opener at the
WTA Finals as she thrashed Maria Sakkari 6-0, 6-1 in just an hour and 14 minutes in Cancun. Despite the organisation of the WTA Finals being a main storyline including in her post match Instagram story, she was also asked about meeting David Beckham.
Sabalenka recently crossed paths with the football legend in Miami and showered the 48-year-old with compliments calling him a nice guy. But it was an even weirder coincidence as she met him after watching his Netflix show.
A chance meeting, she ran into him the following day while she was in Miami for a restaurant launch and seemingly it was fate for the World No.1.
“It was amazing. David is such a nice guy. It was really nice talking to him. It was quite funny. I literally just finished watching his Netflix show, & the next day, I’m meeting David Beckham. How crazy is that. I was telling him ‘I just finished watching your show. It was amazing’. It was a nice conversation with him”, she said.
