Aryna Sabalenka training in Miami. If anyone feels the need to judge her for playing, please stop. The grieving process is so much more complex than whatever your opinion is. She deserves kindness in her healing journey 🙏❤️ (via @BartekIgnacik)
"Most likely, he was drunk" says ex-wife of Aryna Sabalenka's partner Konstantin Koltsov after tragic suicide at Miami Open

Ex-wife of Konstantin Koltsov, Julija Mikhailova who shares three kids with the ex-hockey star and partner of Aryna Sabalenka, the current World Number Two believes that he was likely drunk when he reportedly committed suicide on Monday night.
Giving further details about the tragedy, she said that empty alcohol bottles were found and he fell from the 23rd floor at the resort he was staying at in Miami. But that in her eyes, it wasn't a statement of intent as he had booked hotel rooms and items from online stores which hadn't arrived yet so was more than likely an accident as opposed to his own doing. Reports in his native Belarus initially said that it was a detached blood clot.
'Most likely, he was very drunk,' she told Zerkalo in an interview. 'Unfortunately, hockey players are sometimes guilty of this.
'Empty alcohol bottles were found in the room where Konstantin stayed. There was a balcony overlooking the ocean. Probably Konstantin did not keep track of his actions.
'We still have the old family computer with Konstantin's email. I knew the passwords and managed to open some emails. Konstantin had further booked apartments in a different location. Purchases that have not yet arrived have been paid for. He rented a car for a long time.
'That is, he did not intend to die. Anything, of course, can go to your head, but there was no sign of tragedy.'
But the ex-wife also shared that she liked Sabalenka and that she treated her kids well while they were together. 'Nice girl. I loved Konstantin very much, but Sabalenka treated my children well, so I have a normal attitude towards her.'
