Aryna Sabalenka hopes Yulia Putintseva friendship still on the menu after Wuhan comeback
The two hugged it out after Sabalenka won a 6-0 final set on Thursday, the top seed revealing Putintseva’s culinary talents after the match.
As it stands, Putintseva is 38 points away from breaking back into the Top 30 (career high No. 27).
"I traveled all the way here, and it would be a little injustice to myself to not try as hard as I can," she said with a laugh. "Just tried to dig deep."
