Aryna Sabalenka is also coming to Berlin
After Maria Sakkari, Aryna Sabalenka has now also confirmed her participation in the Berlin Ladies Open presented by ecotrans Group. Sabalenka is the number 2 in the world and the reigning winner of the Australian Open.
Tournament Director Barbara Rittner is full of anticipation as to how the two top stars will perform, because "they are outstanding players on grass. It's great to have such an charismatic player like Aryna Sabalenka in the tournament, who is an absolute eye-catcher with her whole personality and her emotional appearance on the court. And with her outstanding athleticism, Maria Sakkari is always a very special attraction."
The tournament will generally be very rich in attractions. Angelique Kerber and Naomi Osaka are taking part, both were already world number one. Coco Gauff also wants to reach the top. She won the US Open in 2023, beating Aryna Sabalenka in the final. Will it be revenge in Berlin? And how will Zheng Qinwen, who was only stopped by Sabalenka in the final at the Australian Open, fare on the Berlin grass?
What is clear is that the Berlin Ladies Open presented by ecotrans Group will offer a week of world-class tennis at the highest level.
