"Time passes, but the pain is still the same! I miss you, dad": Sabalenka pens heartfelt message after achieving shared World No.1 dream
WTAThursday, 14 September 2023 at 09:46
World number one Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka has shared a heartfelt message on the birthday of his late father.
The 25-year-old posted a message on a story on her official Instagram account stating: “It would be your 47th birthday dad. Miss you so much… time goes by, but the pain is still the same. I miss you papa.”
Sabalenka’s father — Sergey Sabalenka — passed away suddenly at the age of 43 in 2020 but it will be fair to say that he would’ve been a proud father seeing his daughter cementing the top spot in the WTA rankings.
The Minsk-born has been through a roller coaster of a ride in the recently concluded US Open 2023.
She became the world number one during the competition after the previous top-ranked player and defending champion Iga Swiatek was knocked out of the tournament in the fourth round after losing to Latvia’s Jeļena Ostapenko with a score of 3-6, 6-3, 6-1.
However, that joy was short-lived as Sabalenka ended up losing the final of the mega-event to America’s young tennis star Coco Gauff who secured the title with a score of 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.
