Aryna Sabalenka is again on the notorious spectrum of being famous. Sabalenka lost the Stuttgart Open final to Iga Swiatek 2023. With this, she also lost the opportunity of winning a brand-new Porsche. In the trophy ceremony, we can see Aryna Sabalenka pretending to break the window of Iga’s brand-new possession. Though world no.1 found it funny, her fans didn’t find this act by Aryna Sabalenka to be humorous at all.

Aryna Sabalenka seemed to be disappointed again for 2nd year in a row when she lost again to Iga Swiatek. World No. 2 was defeated by Iga in last year’s Stuttgart Open final too. And last year, Iga had driven a brand-new Porsche home. Sabalenka told Porsche that she is extremely jealous. And perhaps the carmakers will need to gift the runners-up a car too from next year.

It seems like there is no end of Hate for Aryna Sabalenka, who has time and again brought the matter to the fore. She has gone on record to say that she gets vile treatment in the locker rooms by other players. Not just players, but the Belarusian and World no. 2 faces flak from fans, as is evident by the Tweet.

With Russians doing so well of late, Daniil Medvedev won 3 Titles this year. With Andrey Rublev winning the Monte Carlo Masters and Aryna Sabalenka winning Australian Open, people who are against Russia and Belarusian are feeling more and more on the edge.

Not just these top players, but other Russian players like Anastasia Potapova, Daria Kasatkina, and Elena Rybakina (Russian descent) have all been subjected to a lot of hate on the internet. Ukrainian players have time and again also asked for a re-ban of the players. Marta Kostyuk recently refused to shake hands with Anastasia Potapova. Locker room tensions are at a peak, especially in the WTA.

A Polish fan talks about how Andrey Rublev will rule the game in the next few years, but “Russians have no right to be on the sports scene after the start of the war, 21st century!“

Since the time Wimbledon announced they will allow Russians and Belarusian players to play this year, pro-Ukrainians and Anti-Russian have expressed their discontent with the decision. “Wait for Medvedev to win Wimbledon (quite possibly) and Prince of Wales will deliver the trophy to a Russki madness” translated from Polish to English.

Some took this as an opportunity to take a dig at Daniil Medvedev and his past Wimbledon performances. “Hey, are you talking about Daniil Medvedev who never made it past the fourth round at Wimbledon in his career? I seriously understand that you can hate Russians or something but let’s be serious dude there’s no chance of the final in London on the grass”
