After Aryna Sabalenka’s boyfriend was announced dead at the age of 42, the World No. 2 has finally broken silence and revealed her plans for the upcoming Miami Open.
On March 18th, ex-NHL pro Konstantin Kolstov was declared dead at the mere age of 42. In a report released by the police authorities in Miami, the cause of death was revealed as suicide.
Last night, Aryna’s boyfriend jumped from the hotel room’s balcony and a few moments later he was pronounced dead. Struck by the news of her beloved boyfriend’s untimely end, Sabalenka didn’t say anything until now.
Aryna has revealed that she will continue playing in the upcoming Miami Open tournament but on one condition: She will not partake in any of the post-match or any other forms of press.
The information came to the surface via the commentators on the grandstand.

If anyone feels the need to judge her for playing, please stop.
The grieving process is so much more complex than whatever your opinion is.
She deserves kindness in her healing journey 🙏❤️

Sabalenka is a player that plays tennis with her emotions, if there’s a player who’ll play while going through grief……it’ll definitely be her. Not surprised
