Unbelievably, Aryna Sabalenka is barned pfor playing  French Open 2024 after defeated her closest friend Paula Badosa a  hard….

“It’s tough to play your best friend,” two-time Australian Open champion Sabalenka said during her on-court interview. “She’s an incredible player, coming back after injury, and I’m pretty sure she’s going to be back on top very soon. It’s very tough, but we’re good to separate things.

“On court… I’m trying not to watch the other side, just to focus on myself and bring my best game.”

Sabalenka produced a superb drop to set up match point and the knockout blow came in the form of an unforced error from the racket of the unseeded Badosa, but was quickly followed by a warm hug at the net.
