The best tennis player in the world insulted a fan at the tournament in Rome.

Reaction of Arina Sabalenka to the fan

The best tennis player in the world from Belarus, Arina Sabalenka, sharply reacted to the shouts from a fan in the stands during the quarter-final match of the WTA 1000 tournament in Rome (Italy). This was reported by 'Glavkom'.

The Belarusian athlete competed against Chinese player Zheng Qinwen. The match ended with Sabalenka's defeat by a score of 6:4, 6:3.

During the match, a fan urged Sabalenka to play tennis, to which she responded with very harsh words.

This match became Sabalenka's first defeat to Qinwen. Previously, they had met six times, but all matches were played on a different type of surface.

Prior to this, Arina had supported the ruler of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, several times, even signing letters in his support.

Support for Anastasia Mironchik-Ivanova

One of the tennis players also expressed support for Russian aggression and the authoritarian regime in Belarus. The athlete has repeatedly voiced support for dictator Lukashenko and other similar political views.

In addition, it was discovered that the account she supported on Instagram deleted several posts that sparked heated discussions.

Publication by Polina Kudermetova of the symbol of aggression

Another Belarusian tennis player also caused outrage by publishing aggressive symbols on Instagram. Some of her actions may have a significant impact on public opinion and provoke a wave of discussions in the sports world.

The situation again confirms that politics and sports should not always be mixed, as it can lead to negative consequences and escalate conflicts.
