"Aryna Sabalenka vient de prouver qu’elle peut rivaliser avec quelqu’un qui a battu les plus grands de tous les temps" a déclaré Nick Kyrgios, après sa victoire contre Aryna Sabalanka (6-3, 6-3) dans "la bataille des sexes" dimanche. L'Australien, classé actuellement 671e à l'ATP après deux saisons blanches, estime que cet événement est "un pas dans la bonne direction".
00:00Let me just remind you, I'm one of 16 people that have ever beaten the big four in the world.
00:04Andy Murray, Djokovic, Federer and Nadal, all lost to me.
00:07And she just proved that she can go out there and compete against someone that's beaten the greatest of all time.
00:12There's nothing but positive that can be taken away from this.
00:15And I had to work for it, I had to sweat, I had to play it, to run.
00:18Like, it was not easy, nothing came easy.
00:20So, let's put that narrative out there rather than all the negativity.
00:25And the thing is, everyone that was negative watched.
00:29That's the funny thing about it as well.
00:31Like, this has been the most talked about event probably in sport in the last six months.
00:35If we looked about how many interactions we had on social media, in the news, whatever it is.
00:41So, anyone that was negative and that watched, they just love it.
00:46They just don't want to love it.
00:47They do love it.
00:49And I'm sure the next time we do it, and if I'm a part of it, and if she's a part of it, I'm sure it will be now a cultural movement that will happen more often.
00:57And I think it's a step in the right direction.
