"I’m just trying to enjoy every second being here" - Sabalenka discusses mindset after opening WTA Finals win

Aryna Sabalenka scored another win over Ons Jabeur taking down the Tunisian in three sets at the WTA Finals.

Sabalenka was not favoured to win this match but the matchup simply seems to work for her as she was able to add another win after beating her at Wimbledon last year. It was a comeback win as she dropped her first and remaining calm helped her:

"I’m just trying to enjoy every second being here, and I’m just trying to do my best and see what the last week of the season can bring. I was just like, ‘Keep trying, keep fighting, and make sure that if she wants to win this match, she has to do something great, not like an easy win.’ And I think that’s why I put a little bit more pressure on her and in the key moments, I was able to win it."

Sabalenka holding her composure in the second set was crucial because she went up 4-1 early but allowed Jabeur to battle back and force a tiebreak. Sabalenka held firm and she did the same thing in the final set winning it 7-5.
