Aryna Sabalenka’s Australian Open win has been warmly celebrated by her team, and her hitting partner Andrei Vasilevski wasn’t to be left out of the party. Sabalenka recently shared a picture on social media of Vasilevski’s daughter cheekily holding the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup.
The Belarusian won her second Australian Open title last month, defeating 21-year-old Chinese star Zheng Qinwen 6-3, 6-2 in the final. On Tuesday (February 6), Sabalenka posted a picture showing Vasilevski’s daughter standing beside the Australian Open trophy and hilariously holding one handle with her two hands.
Sabalenka found the moment lovely and captioned her Instagram story accordingly.
“My love 💓” – Sabalenka captioned
Vasilevski, who turned pro in 2009, is currently inactive. He played his last professional match in the final of the 2022 Pau Challenger men’s doubles, partnering Romain Arneodo. They lost to the duo of Elliot Benchetrit and Eliakim Coulibaly.
The 32-year-old Belarusian won his first and only doubles title at the 2021 Belgrade Open, partnering with Jonathan Erlich.
