Aryna Sabalenka Nearly Hits Ballboy After Furious Racket Throw in Wuhan

Sabalenka narrowly avoided disqualification in her Wuhan semifinal loss to Pegula after hurling her racket, which rebounded off her chair and nearly struck a ballboy. The world No. 1 led 5-2 in the final set before collapsing 2-6, 6-4, 7-6(2). “That is dangerous territory for Aryna,” a commentator said, calling it “shocking behavior.” Pegula later called the comeback “crazy.”
