(VIDEO): Aryna Sabalenka's hilarious slip-up in Cincinnati Open presentation

World number two Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka had a hilarious slipup during the presentation ceremony of the Cincinnati Open. The 26-year-old, who is already regarded as one of the best players currently playing in women’s tennis in the singles category, won the WTA 1000 event title in Cincinnati after beating America’s Jessica Pegula in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 7-5.

Talking after the match, Sabalenka had a hilarious slip-up where she thanked ‘boyfriends’ instead of ‘boyfriend’. After that, the two-time Grand Slam winner went on to thank her team as well for doing all the hard work behind the scenes.

"Special thank you to my boyfriends... boyfriend, I said 'boyfriends' oh my god, that's my terrible English guys,” she said. “Thank you to my boyfriend for keeping me happy everyday, thank you. Last but not the least, I want to thank my team, um, yeah, you guys we've been through a lot but we never stop working, never stop improving and I'm really to have you by my side.”

That win was an even more special one for Sabalenka as it pushed her back to the second spot in the WTA rankings after a long time. She replaced America’s Coco Gauff, who was knocked out of the competition after losing to Yulia Putintseva in the round of 32 with a score of 6-4, 2-6, 6-4. The win is also important for Sabalenka as it gives her a much-needed push ahead of the US Open. The fourth and the final Grand Slam of the year will begin from August 26 where players from all over the world will participate to showcase their talent and secure the ultimate prize. Last year, Sabalenka had an impressive outing at the Flashing Meadows, where she finished as the runner-up after losing to Gauff in the final.
