Sabalenka was given the option to play at a time to be called the Roma Baby, and the ball was rewarded by promoting Italian cuisine

Which girl has the biggest ranking in Rome this year? A lot of people have said Sabalenka's name!

Before the start of the Rome 1000 tournament, large posters of Zheng Qinwen, Swiatek and Gauff were seen prominently hanging outside the arena, but the world No. 1 Sabalenka was not seen, and some people complained for the Belarusian girl, thinking that she may have received a cold reception in Rome this year.

But when Sabalenka's debut in Rome was confirmed, it turned a big turn around!

It turned out that before her debut against Potapova, the Roma side gave Sabalenka two match times: 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. The world No. 1 was given the freedom to choose one of the two, and in the end, Sabalenka chose to start at 11 a.m.

Seeing that the Belarusian girl finally chose this time to play, some fans and netizens bluntly said that they couldn't understand why Sabalenka didn't choose to play at 7 o'clock in the evening, so that she could have more time to rest.

There is only one reason why there is such a doubt in the outside world, there may be a difference in physical fitness between her and Potapova!

Against Potapova, before the game, many people were worried that Sabalenka had just won the championship in Madrid and consumed so much, and she would immediately transfer to Rome without any rest and adjustment time.

Although Potapova is not as good as Sabalenka in ranking and strength, from the fact that she was able to defeat Zheng Qinwen, who is good at clay battles, in the second round of Madrid, it shows that the Russian beauty's clay strength is not weak.

With a clear physical superiority over Sabalenka, Potapova could certainly repeat Madrid's upset of the top 10 players.

Judging from the fact that the two played very intensely in the first five games of the first set, and no one was willing to show weakness easily, everyone sweated for Sabalenka, worried that if it continued to be consumed like this, it would make a breakthrough in the arena, so that Potapova seized the opportunity to hold the initiative of the game in her own hands, breaking out the biggest upset since the start of Rome.

Sabalenka has to admire that from the sixth game, after fully showing the strength of the world's No. 1, there is nothing to do with Russian beauties. Potapova did well, and the Belarusian girl did even better, winning the first set 6-2 after taking control of the match in her own hands.

After entering the second set, Sabalenka's offensive firepower was not weakened compared to the first set, but more fierce. When the Belarusian girl ended the second set 6-2 and ended the match in one fell swoop, many people in the live broadcast room gave Sabalenka a thumbs up, bluntly saying that this physical fitness is really amazing, and it took only 64 minutes to win the match, and I really can't see what impact Madrid's victory has on the world's No. 1 physical fitness.

After the win, Sabalenka probably guessed that everyone wanted to know why she chose to play at 11 a.m. instead of 7 p.m., and the answer was quickly given.

"Because I want to eat pasta, and pizza, and then I'll be in the city." Sabalenka admitted after the game that the reason why she chose to play at this time in the morning was mainly due to the problem of meals, after the game, she could immediately go to eat her favorite pasta and pizza, and then enjoy the fun of shopping after the meal, such a relaxing way is really enjoyable.

Sabalenka explained this cute reason to the outside world, and after posting photos in the restaurant, it also directly led to the popularity of Italian food.

According to people familiar with the matter, many fans not only talked about pasta and pizza on social media, but even went directly to the restaurant where she went to taste the food in the footsteps of the world's first, resulting in the restaurant being full, and how to solve the table has become a major problem for the restaurant.

When everyone commented on this matter, they also praised Sabalenka as a grateful girl, and the Rome tournament gave her the privilege of freely choosing the time of the game, treating her as a Roman baby, she deliberately emphasized that she wanted to eat Italian food after the game, which was tantamount to making an excellent marketing advertisement for Italian food in disguise, and the effect was great!(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
