Badosa herself thanked Azarenka’s message and reiterated her gratitude after the match: “Thank you Vika, you have made me better today. You have been an inspiration to me since I started tennis. Thank you for everything you have done for this sport.”
The sportsmanship between the two tennis players did not stop there, since Azarenka shared in her networks Badosa’s message with this proposal: “Rematch next year?” Badosa did not hesitate to answer with a sympathetic “Where do I have to sign?” An example of sportsmanship both on and on the court after a confrontation that is already considered one of the best women’s matches of 2021 and that we will see if it is repeated in the future.
