“I want to retire from tennis now!” » Aryna Sabalenka's shocking press conference after her elimination from Roland Garros: “I screwed her up!”

Aryna Sabalenka was extremely affected by the failure at Roland Garros. Sabalenka pointed to the fact that he was lost in the critical moments of the game, but also criticized the organizers for not pulling the roof on the pitch on which it was played.

Aryna Sabalenka, devastated after elimination from Roland Garros: “I have no thoughts, no emotions! I want to retire from tennis now!”

“I have no thoughts, no emotions. I want to retire from tennis now. I hope that in a few days I will be back on the right track mentally. I had decent chances in the second set to close, but I blew it. Then she accelerated, played aggressively.

I couldn't recover mentally after the second set, that's my biggest mistake today. I don't know when was the last time I lost ten games in a row. I went into a black hole mentally and couldn't get back on track.

I don't know why they kept the roof open when the wind was blowing so hard, but how can I complain when I played well for most of the match… Maybe it's my fault, maybe it's because I went crazy. Last year was similar and the next day they closed the roof for the men's match.

With the roof closed, the match would certainly have been of a better quality, but she played better anyway, came into the court and hit.

Maybe I focus too much on the fact that I haven't won a Grand Slam either on clay or on grass, so I think too much, I get too emotional. I need to find a solution for this because I'm tired of losing games just because my emotions are overwhelming me.

A combination of everything – you think too much, then a slight mistake comes, you miss an opportunity, the opponent plays more freely and aggressively… Sometimes it's hard to come back under such circumstances”, said Aryna Sabalenka at the press conference after the elimination from Roland Garros, according to sportal.blic.rs.

Oh, yes. That's what I'm saying. I have to sit back and see what's going on, reflect openly on what's going on in my mind at those times. I have overcome a lot, I am an experienced player, I have to think well and I hope I can overcome this too. I felt great before the match, ready to fight, motivated… I did everything the same in the morning, but I lost control during the match

I don't know what I'm going to do in the next few days, I honestly don't. I don't know… I don't know. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, I guess. I'll probably understand what's going wrong. I actually figured out what I'm going to do tomorrow. There are those rooms where you go in and break everything, I'll probably spend all day tomorrow in there breaking things. Maybe it helps – maybe not
