US Open: Aryna Sabalenka ‘tired of the miserable haters’ as she hits back at critics after first-round win

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka began her bid for a third consecutive US Open title with a commanding 6-2, 6-4 first-round victory over Colombia's Camila Osorio at Flushing Meadows, hitting 32 winners in the match. Following the win, Sabalenka publicly hit back at her critics, stating that 'haters can go and get on with their own lives.'
