Milan, 16 June (LaPresse) – “I went to see a psychologist after Roland Garros.” Aryna Sabalenka admitted this during the pre-draw press conference for the “Berlin Tennis Open” (WTA 500 – prize money €1,206,446), which is currently being held on the grass courts of the Lawn-Tennis-Turnier-Club “Rot-Weiss” in Berlin. The world number one spoke about how she is coping with the start of the grass-court season and her dream of achieving something great at Wimbledon, but she also admitted to having gone through a deep emotional crisis following her surprise defeat in Paris. “I definitely needed a bit of time to recover,” said the 28-year-old from Minsk, “I thought a lot about that match. It was a very tough defeat to come to terms with because I felt I’d missed a huge opportunity.” “After Roland Garros, I went to see a psychologist: I needed help so I wouldn’t get stuck in that defeat,” Aryna revealed without hesitation. “I was looking for a way to put what had happened behind me. It helped me a lot: sometimes you just need to talk to someone.”
