It took Aryna Sabalenka more effort than expected to win her second-round match, but not even inspired Teichmann managed to take a set off her. Impressive performance by the Belarusian, who is determined to claim the Paris trophy if no one stops her. After securing another victory and breaking into the top 32 of the draw, she met with accredited press to assess her performance and discuss some secondary goals she is setting to become an even better player. Certainly, she is already putting them into practice at this Roland Garros 2025.

'Comeback' to stay alive

“She started very well, so I am very happy with how I managed the situation when I was down 1-3. It was crucial to hold my serve at that moment. I think after that game, I felt a bit stronger, found my rhythm, turned the match around, and ended up winning. It was tough, she played excellent tennis, and I am proud of how I passed the test.”

Teichmann, a challenging opponent

“I think she started very well, but my rhythm was off. I couldn't adjust to the ball, didn't find my pace, didn't serve well. Honestly, nothing went right for me, that's why I am happy with how I changed the situation and managed to hold my serve. This match will give me strength to keep fighting and pressing on. I am super happy with the victory, although the score might seem easy, the truth is it wasn't. She is a very clever opponent, makes you work for every point, so I am happy to have turned it around and pushed her until the end.”

Use of 'slice' in the match

“I had some luck with that shot today, the truth is we haven't been working on it much lately. I am very happy to see it working for me during matches, of course, I want to be a complete player, to have all the tools, and to bring variety to the court, be an unpredictable player. I am very pleased to see things falling into place.”

Danilovic, upcoming opponent

“We played a long time ago, that's what I was told on the court, that we had a match in 2018. I won't even watch that match because right now we are completely different players, I know she has been doing very well lately. I know she is left-handed, that's a big difference, I think she plays very flat and fast, besides serving very well. I also know she overcame some injuries and is gradually coming back, I watched some of her matches in Madrid this year, also in Rome. I am looking forward to facing her in the next round, it will be a great battle, I love challenges, and I am excited to compete against her.”

Love for big courts

“I can't remember the last time I played on a small court, and I don't want to know (laughter). I really enjoy playing in large stadiums, that's the truth, I feel I have a lot of support wherever I go nowadays, it's incredible. Whenever I step out, I always feel that warmth from the crowd, shouting and cheering for me, I see the signs they write for me, and that is the best feeling. I enjoy all of this a lot, so I just hope to play on the biggest courts in the world until the end of my career.”
