Sabalenka shared an image on her Instagram story, revealing that she was having
a drink after her defeat in the US Open final against Coco Gauff.
The
Belarusian tennis sensation left Flushing Meadows as the best performer of the
year in Grand Slam events, boasting a remarkable record of 23 wins and just 3

Wimbledon.

Additionally,
Sabalenka secured the coveted world No. 1 ranking after over a year of Iga
Swiatek's dominance. However, her aspirations were met with disappointment as
she suffered her second Grand Slam final defeat, this time against the
19-year-old American sensation, Coco Gauff.
Following
the conclusion of the tournament, Sabalenka took to Instagram to share an image
of herself enjoying a drink, accompanied by the caption: "Yes! I did have
a drink last night (laughing emoji)."
In her
post-US Open remarks, the Belarusian mentioned her plans to have a drink after
the disappointing loss in the final but also expressed her continued motivation
to chase more victories in the future. Despite the setback, Sabalenka remains
determined and focused on her tennis journey.
"Yeah,
that's why probably, that's why I'm not super depressed right now,” new world
No. 1 said.
“I'm
definitely going for a drink tonight if I'm allowed to say that. Yes, we are
athletes, but sometimes we are drinking, but not much. But becoming a world No
1, it's a huge improvement, and achievement, actually. I'm really proud of
myself that all those years I have been working so hard helped me to become
World No 1,” Sabalenka said.
“But, you know, like,
for me it's more about end the year as world No 1, not just like become World
No 1 and then next week you're second. It's good so that I can say I have been
World No 1, but I really would like to finish the year as world No 1. That's
why I'm, like, still positive, and I'm still motivated
