"I’m not going to say thank you to my team because it’s so many double faults" - Sabalenka jokes after Garcia defeat at WTA Finals

Aryna Sabalenka lost to Caroline Garcia in the WTA Finals and speaking after the match she proved in good spirits joking around.

The Belarusian player arrived in Forth Worth with very few expectations. She was adamant that she was going to try and enjoy the event without putting any pressure on herself. It proved a good choice as she played some good tennis, reaching the final but also losing to Garcia.

She was in good spirits after the match joking around:

"I’m not going to say thank you to my team because it’s so many double faults, you guys are such a bad team - no, no, no, I’m joking."

She then struck a more serious tone thanking her team for the year:

"It’s been a challenging year for us. Thank you so much for your support."

On the match, Aryna said:

I just dropped my level for a little bit. On the tiebreak and the first game of the second set. That’s it. I did my best, [but] she played unbelievable tennis."
