After Indian Wells exit, world No. 2 wants to show best’ tennis in Miami where she lives
-
INDIAN WELLS - World No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka shrugged off her stunning defeat by Emma Navarro in the fourth round of Indian Wells on March 13, saying that she hoped next week's "home" tournament in Miami would help her hit peak form again.
After winning the Australian Open in January for her second Grand Slam title, the Belarusian lost to Donna Vekic in the second round in Dubai before crashing 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 to 23rd seed Navarro.
"I'd say that this year Indian Wells I didn't feel my best on these courts.
I tried to adjust. We tried to work on a couple of things, make sure I'm there and I'm fighting for the title," Sabalenka said.
"We did our best and we'll learn. We'll work a little bit more on the movement and hopefully I'll be ready for Miami."
The Minsk-born 25-year-old, who now resides in Miami, said she is looking forward to the March 1931 tournament in Florida and hopes to improve on last season's quarterfinal finish.
