Soon to be World No. 1, Aryna Sabalenka was up against America’s Madison Keys for the semi-final round at the US Open. The Belarussian tennis player’s clash against Keys took an interesting turn since the latter gave Sabalenka a tough time.

Aryna Sabalenka was up against seventeenth seed Madison Keys at the Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday. The 25-year-old Belarussian, who has advanced to the semi-finals by winning all her matches in straight sets, saw herself losing the first set to Keys. The American beat Sabalenka 6-0 in the first set.
