Aliaksandra Sasnovich, the “speech of the evening” after the victory with Simona Halep
Aliaksandra Sasnovich, who will meet Victoria Azarenka in the round of 16 at Indian Wells, gave a memorable interview on the court after the victory with Simona Halep, cataloged by the WTA as the “speech of the evening”.
” It’s really fun, because when I saw the quarter draw, I saw three Grand Slam champions. Aliaksandra Sasnovich was in this quarter. It was fun for me. Today I played against Simona, she is a great champion, I was very nervous at the end, because I wanted to win so much.
I bought my tickets home, there was a 30 percent chance for me to win, 70 percent for her. I said OK, I’m going on the field, I’m enjoying the game, but should I win? Wow! I already bought my tickets. I changed them and next time I will do the same ,” said Aliaksandra Sasnovich.
