Aryna Sabalenka takes on Naomi Osaka in the round of 16 at Wimbledon on July 5.
Sabalenka defeated Osaka 7-5,6-3 in just 87 minutes during the French Open in June, marking her third win over the four-time Grand Slam champion in the past three months. However, the world No. 1 says her past wins don’t matter.
“She’s aware of my power and aggression and everything,” Sabalenka told reporters of Osaka. “For me, it’s a new story every time I play someone… I don’t really care about what happened in the past.”
