In the middle of the drama, emotions and pressure from Roland Garros 2025, Aryna Sabalenka shines not only on the court, but also outside. In a scene that ignited social media and large sports titles, the world number 2 has defended the legendary Novak Djokovic, which has been the subject of strong criticisms from certain press and public sectors.

Sabalenka, known for his intensity in his game and his opinions, was clear and energetic at a press conference following his victory in the third round. Questioned by a journalist on Djokovic’s performance after his difficult five -set victory, Sabalenka pronounced a sentence which has now become viral:

“He’s not finished yet-watch him prove him.”

These ten words, full of power and respect, were a direct response to detractors who think that the reign of Djokovic on tennis is coming to an end. Sabalenka not only defended its inheritance, but also challenged all those who doubt Novak’s ability to continue to compete at the highest level.

“I do not understand why there is so much desire to see him fall,” continued Sabalenka. “We are talking about one of the greatest athletes of all time. He has the right to have bad days. What matters is his reaction. And believe me, “He still reacts “.

The commentary sparked a wave of support on social networks. Thousands of fans have shared the video, stressing the loyalty of Sabalenka and his courage to speak when others prefer to stay on the sidelines. “Leave it alone” was trendy on X (formerly Twitter), in a movement where fans of the two players have united their strengths.

At 37, Novak Djokovic continues to challenge the laws of time and sports logic. Although she did not experience her best season in 2025, her ability to compete in Grand Chelem remains unrivaled. In Roland Garros, he once again demonstrated that his mind and determination were intact.

“Sabalenka said what many of us think,” said a Eurosport commentator. “Djokovic is a mental titan, and underestimating it simply means that this sport is unquestionable.”

This is not the first time that Sabalenka has been expressed with force on questions that affect the world of tennis. However, his defense of Djokovic was particularly resonant, not only because of what he said, but because of the way he said: with sincerity, without filter and with a conviction that few dare to show in elite sport.

With each word, Sabalenka has raised not only Djokovic, but itself also, proving that respect between champions transcends rivalries and rankings.

“He’s not finished yet-watch him prove him.” Ten words. A declaration. A message that will make criticisms tremble for a long time.
