Sabalenka, on Siegemund's game: "It's not annoying tennis, it's intelligent tennis"

Aryna Sabalenka was very close to bidding farewell to this Wimbledon, but she managed to withstand the peculiar and uncomfortable tennis that Laura Siegemund presented to her. Speaking about the style possessed by the German, which she herself defined as 'annoying', the Belarusian said: "It's not annoying tennis, it's intelligent tennis. She is making all of us work to beat her. Going into the match against her, you know you have to put effort into every point. It doesn't matter if you serve hard or hit hard. You have to work. You have to run. I was trying to focus on myself and make sure not to give her that energy. I didn't want her to see that it bothered me. Although it did a little at times," stated the world number one after reaching the semifinals of the prestigious London tournament.
