Brazil's Ronaldo, one of the greatest strikers to ever step onto the soccer field, was in Miami with his life partner, Celina Locks. The two went backstage to take pictures with Sabalenka.
“Champion again! The intensity of the feeling of holding this trophy in my arms never diminishes. This tournament will always be like home to me. Thanks to my team and the fans who supported me these days. I love you, Miami!”, wrote Aryna Sabalenka on Instagram.
Thanks to Saturday's triumph, Sabalenka joined the select gallery of players who have won Indian Wells and Miami in the same year, alongside Steffi Graf, Kim Clijsters, Victoria Azarenka and Iga Swiatek.
Coco, you are so good at speeches! What can I say? Just kidding, you're an awesome player, you're doing a terrific job. See you again in a final! I thank those who make such a beautiful tournament possible, the organizers, the fans. I don't know where is the lady who shouted “out” in the last set… I was rude, I admit, but you don't do that. I hope we are all right now. Next time I will ask for a bigger box, I have a wonderful team, it is full. Thank you for everything, you are amazing! Thanks to my fiance too! That sounds good… See you all next year!
