Paula Badosa admits it will be 바카라uncomfortable바카라 facing best friend Aryna Sabalenka at the Miami Open following the death of the world number two바카라s boyfriend Konstantin Koltsov. (More Tennis News)
Sabalenka was pictured on social media practising on Tuesday a day after 42-year-old former ice hockey player Koltsov died in Miami in what police described as an 바카라apparent suicide바카라.
Her first match is due to be on Thursday against Spaniard Badosa, who defeated Simona Halep on the Romanian바카라s return from a doping ban.
Badosa said of Sabalenka: 바카라Yesterday I spoke with her a lot of time. This morning the same. So I know what she바카라s going through. I know the entire situation, what is happening.
바카라That for me is a little bit shocking also to go through that because at the end she바카라s my best friend and I don바카라t want her to suffer. It바카라s a very tough situation.
바카라At the same point, playing against her, it바카라s also uncomfortable. But I don바카라t really want to talk about it because I said I바카라m not going to talk about it. She바카라s my best friend and I promised that.
바카라She바카라s a strong woman. I think she will get the power from somewhere. I hope it바카라s going to be a battle, a good match.바카라
Caroline Wozniacki became emotional talking about the situation during her press conference, the Dane saying: 바카라I can바카라t even imagine what she바카라s going through right now.
바카라I바카라m also tearing up. It바카라s such a terrible situation. It바카라s so hard. I reached out to her and I told her that I was here if she needed anything.
바카라I love Aryna. I think she바카라s such a great person. She바카라s always so happy and out there. To see her go through that, it바카라s heartbreaking.
바카라Everyone grieves in a different way. She was walking past today. I was giving her her space. I let her know that if she ever needs anything, I바카라m here, we바카라re here for her.바카라
Koltsov, who played in the NHL for the Pittsburgh Penguins, had been a regular presence supporting Sabalenka at tournaments.
The news was announced by Russia ice hockey team Salavat Yulaev Ufa, where Koltsov had been assistant coach.
A statement on the club바카라s website read: 바카라It is with deep sorrow that we inform you that Salavat Yulaev coach Konstantin Koltsov has passed away. He was a strong and cheerful person, he was loved and respected by players, colleagues, and fans.
바카라Konstantin Evgenievich forever wrote himself into the history of our club. Koltsov won the Russian Championship and the Gagarin Cup as part of Salavat Yulaev and did a great job on the team바카라s coaching staff.
바카라The hockey club Salavat Yulaev expresses its condolences to the family and friends of Konstantin Evgenievich Koltsov.바카라
It is the second tragedy to hit 25-year-old Sabalenka, whose father Sergey, also a former ice hockey player, died in 2019 at the age of 43.
