New York: Aryna Sabalenka, the Belarusian tennis star, faced a hostile reception from the US Open crowd on Monday, as spectators booed her while she walked onto the court. The reaction comes days after an incident involving American player Coco Gauff during a recent match, which drew widespread attention and criticism.
Sabalenka, currently competing in the ongoing US Open, has been under scrutiny for her on-court behavior, particularly during her match against Gauff. While specific details of the incident have not been officially penalized, many fans voiced their displeasure, leading to the unusual reception.
Despite the crowd’s reaction, Sabalenka remained focused on her performance. Tennis analysts suggest that such crowd behavior, though disruptive, is not uncommon in high-stakes tournaments when player actions generate strong public opinion.
The US Open, one of tennis’s four Grand Slam tournaments, often witnesses intense fan engagement, but this incident highlights the fine line between passionate support and negative crowd influence. Organizers have yet to comment on the matter, but social media reactions have amplified the controversy, with discussions on sportsmanship and player conduct trending worldwide.
Sabalenka’s next matches will test both her skill and composure as she navigates heightened scrutiny. Fans and commentators alike are watching closely to see whether she can maintain focus under pressure and how the crowd’s reactions may influence tournament dynamics
