Aryna Sabalenka Says She Felt ‘Disconnected’ In Double-Tiebreak Win

After a 7-6(4), 7-6(7) Round 3 win over Anastasia Potapova at the Australian Open, Sabalenka admitted, “I felt like I was on the back foot… didn’t feel at my very best.” She said her body was “a little bit disconnected,” leaving “only… mentality… fighting spirit.” Sabalenka expects the extra day off to “put it back together” for the next match.
