First racket of the world, Belarusian tennis player Arina Sabalenko missed the opportunity to earn over 2.5 million euros on Final WTA tournament in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia)), reports Sports.kz with reference to Smartpress.by.
Sabalenka lost in the final match of the group stage to Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina.
This defeat upset the Belarusian because it took away the opportunity to earn the maximum possible amount in Saudi Arabia. The fact is that the organizers have provided a prize fund of 2.5 million euros for the tournament champion. But if the strongest tennis player goes the entire distance without defeat, she will receive twice the fee – 5.1 million euros.
