PARIS (AP) — Aryna Sabalenka's dominant run at the French Open continued Monday with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Emma Navarro to reach the quarterfinals.
And watch out, because now the sun is shining at Porte d’Auteuil in the southwest of Paris.
"When the sun is out, I play with a lot more happiness,” said Sabalenka, who has yet drop at Roland Garros this year.
She certainly showed some joy after her fourth-round win over the 22nd-seeded Navarro, displaying disco-inspired dance moves on her way off the court to the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” played loudly on the phone of No. 8 Ons Jabeur, who stood near a staircase leading to the locker room.
