Sabalenka Curses Again During Live TV Interview

Sabalenka Curses Again During Live TV Interview

Aryna Sabalenka, the world's second-ranked tennis player, has once again found herself in hot water after accidentally cursing during a live TV interview.

During an interview with Prakash Amritraj at the Tennis Channel desk, Sabalenka was discussing her popular "day in the life" videos when she let slip a profanity.

"I just had the idea. I saw that people want to see it more often. Now it's a goal in each city," she began.

"So far people like it. As soon as people start saying like, 'Stop it. We are tired of this bullsh--.'"

Sabalenka immediately realized her mistake and put the microphone down in disappointment. Amritraj broke out in laughter, exclaiming, "Again, it's beep!"

"Before the interview started, she promised no F-bombs, no cursing, no nothing!" he said.

Sabalenka owned up to her mistake, saying, "It's just something in my blood, cursing."

Despite her slip-up, Sabalenka remains focused on her tennis. She will face Danielle Collins in the semifinals of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, a rematch of their Mutua Madrid Open fourth-rounder.

"Danielle is in incredible shape and she's been crushing it," said Sabalenka.

Collins, the 13th seed, defeated Sabalenka's countrywoman Victoria Azarenka to complete the semifinal lineup. World No. 1 Iga Swiatek meets third-ranked Coco Gauff in the top half of the draw.

"It's great for all of us, because it motivates us a lot to improve, to get better, be more consistent with the game, to get to the last stages of the tournament," said Sabalenka.
