Aryna Sabalenka's Behavior After French Open Match is Turning Heads
Aryna Sabalenka's Behavior After French Open Match is Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Aryna Sabalenka may be focused on winning the French Open, but she's also not forgetting to have fun off the court. Advertisement That much is clear after the women's World No. 1 beat Qinwen Zheng in their quarterfinal match on Tuesday. Sabalenka took down her Chinese opponent in straight sets and in less than two hours, although she was tested a bit in the first set, 7-6(3), 6-3. However, it was her antics after the match that had fans buzzing (and laughing). As she exited Court Philippe Chatrier, Sabalenka pulled off some dance moves while her theme song, "Tiger," played in the background. She also did her usual victory poses to the delight of her followers. It's also interesting to note that Aryna Sabalenka called out Novak Djokovic while dancing and doing her poses, in response to the Serbian legend imitating her victory poses on Monday. Advertisement Djokovic commented on the video, sharing multiple "clapping" and "face with tears of joy" emojis. Several fans also loved Sabalenka's behavior, taking it to the comment section to share their reactions. "She won just to show she could do it better than Nole," a commenter wrote. Another one said, "she is the best." "She's so funny!" a fan added. A supporter shared, "Sensacional! Go Queen!" "Aryna is the Kind of person u would like to have as a friend... hahaha," a social media user remarked. A sixth follower exclaimed, "I love you Sabalenka!!! You're awesome!!!"

The 28-year-old is set to face Iga Swiatek next in the semifinals.

Real Madrid captain talks FIFA Club World Cup, future at club – ‘MLS is one of the options'
Real Madrid captain talks FIFA Club World Cup, future at club – 'MLS is one of the options' Following Luka Modric's emotional exit from Real Madrid, Dani Carvajal has become the club's new captain as the team braces itself for a new chapter under Xabi Alonso. Alonso's mettle will be tested in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which will be the Spaniard's first major tournament in charge of Los Blancos. Advertisement With a little less than two weeks remaining before the Club World Cup, Real Madrid's new captain Carvajal spoke to talking about the new tournament as well as his future at the club. Carvajal on FIFA Club World Cup Talking about the Club World Cup, Carvajal hailed the new format and what it could mean for clubs competing in this tournament. 'The Club World Cup? It's a new tournament, a great World Cup, as the name suggests. The best teams in the world compete in it, and I think the club and I are very excited about it,' he said (h/t MARCA). It appears Carvajal loves the idea of a tournament where various top clubs across the world can participate. Dani Carvajal is looking forward to playing in the FIFA Club World Cup (Photo by Gonzalo) 'The combination of different types of football, leagues, and continents makes it a very special tournament. This year, we have already faced Pachuca and Salzburg. We have this previous experience, and we are looking forward to the first day,' he added. Advertisement Real Madrid kickstart their FIFA Club World Cup campaign on June 18 when they take on Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal. Carvajal on Real Madrid future, MLS Carvajal went on to talk about his future at Real Madrid. He was specifically about his contract, which expires at the end of next season and the road ahead. Carvajal confirmed that he would likel to try another league once he leaves Real Madrid and it appears MLS is one of the leagues he desires to play in. 'Yes, I have already said in a previous interview that the day I leave Real Madrid, or the day we decide together not to continue, I would like to try a league other than Europe, and MLS is one of the options,' he said. Advertisement It will be interesting to see what will be the role of Carvajal under Alonso next season now that Real Madrid have confirmed the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold. It is very much possible that the veteran could play a reduced role in the first team, with Alexander-Arnold largely being promoted as the first-choice right-back for Real Madrid next season.
