She instructed her hands and her face reflected the storm. The roof above the center court was closed, which strengthened the sound of the stands. The 15,000 strong crowd threw his weight for the home player.Sometimes, during this 74 -minute first set, when she saved eight sets, a 27 -year -old woman turned in. Only a special shout “Come on” reduced Decibel of her growl. Sometimes she looked at her box and drew her fists quietly.Sabalenko 7-6 (6), 6-4 two-hour victories gave it in the fourth round, where Elise Mertens faces. But her real victory was not all over the world No. 40, but it was achieved when she held together when the home crowd deployed on his opponent and in the match signed up as the third cell, as well as the chatrier, a month ago in Paris. “Break her, Emmo!” They urged between points, several times between administration.

Which aspect of Sabalenka do you think the most contributed to her victory?
Sabalenka found the opportunity in her loss Coco Gauff on the French Open, where she went down the flood of 70 unforced errors. She let the crowd get into her head and later refused to give recognition to her opponent.“I learned from that difficult lesson,” she said. “In the match, I just kept thinking that you couldn’t let it happen again. Whatever happens on the pitch, you just have to be respectful, you have to be calm. I reminded myself that I am strong enough.”The truth is that when Sabalenka plays her tennis, she destroys a pair of strong legs. Several new features make it more dangerous – a drop, underline, allowing it to stay in place. More times than not when it ends up on the wrong side of the score, it’s she who lost the match.Sabalenka is not the first player to want the crowd on her side, Novak Djokovic knows about it. Unfortunately, for the world 1, the geopolitical situation is what it is, faced the onslaught from the public, especially for large companies. Friday, however, was not about the external noise, the calm she found in it.
