Between Tennis and Politics: Aryna Sabalenka at Roland-Garros facing the Controversy of the War in Ukraine

Part 1: Sabalenka's Performances at Roland-Garros

Aryna Sabalenka, world number 2, made a remarkable impression on the courts of Roland-Garros. Her flawless performances led her to reach the semi-final, which will be held on Thursday June 8, against the Czech Karolina Muchova.

Part 2: The Political Controversy

However, beyond his success on the court, Sabalenka finds himself in a delicate situation regarding his position on the war in Ukraine and his relationship with the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko. This situation led to tensions during the post-match press conferences.

Part 3: The Future of Sabalenka at Roland-Garros

Despite the controversy, Sabalenka continues her career at Roland-Garros. If she wins the final, she could find herself facing the Polish Iga Swiatek, world number 1. This match could be seen as a clash between the desire to separate sport from politics and that of linking them closely.
