Tennis saved me from depression: Sabalenka on ex-boyfriend's death

World number one Aryna Sabalenka said tennis "saved" her from depression after her ex-boyfriend Konstantin Koltsov died by suicide in 2024. "I was just trying to focus on training, just so I spend less time with myself in my thoughts. I'd cry in practice a lot," she added. Sabalenka described the period as "a very tough moment" in her life.
