Sabalenka performed at a tournament in Miami after the news of the death of her former lover Konstantin Koltsov. The passing of ex-Pittsburgh hockey player and coach Salavat Yulaev became known on Tuesday. The Miami-Dade County Police Department (USA) announced the beginning of an investigation into the suicide of a 42-year-old Belarusian specialist. Sabalenka called the incident an unimaginable tragedy and asked to respect her privacy during such a difficult period.
