Aryna Sabalenka hit one of the shots of the day during her victory against Jaqueline Cristian at the Mutua Madrid Open. The Belarusian converted the break point that put her 4-0 up in the first set with a one-handed backhand passing shot on the run, reminiscent of Roger Federer's style. A shot that she herself defined as the "best of her career" so far.
