“I have to say, maybe it’s because of the environment and the history of European countries, we’re going to be much harder,” Sabalenka told the Paris media. “Whoever goes through something hard, they’re more mentally and physically stronger than the rest of the world, but most girls are touring…
“I absolutely think the environment we have in our country is very tough, the coaches are very cruel, you know, there is no benefit in the way they work with players. I think that’s why our mindset may be stronger, but at the same time, they’re kind of like a lot of players because that radical idea is.
“I think in Europe and the states, the environment is healthier.”

“You know, it was so sad to see the ceremony, the Big Four were on the court, you know three of them retired. Everyone missed the game.
“So let’s have Nowak show and fight there, show his greatness and inspire that generation.”
