Aryna Sabalenka has thanked fans for an ‘outpouring of love and support’ following the tragic death of her ex-boyfriend Konstantin Koltsov last month.
Koltsov’s death has been ruled an ‘apparent suicide’ after he fell from the balcony of a five-star hotel in Miami.
The 42-year-old, who shared three children with ex-wife Julija Mikhailova, was initially believed to have joined his girlfriend in the city as she prepared for the Miami Open.
Sabalenka later revealed their relationship had already come to an end when commenting on the ‘unthinkable tragedy’ of his death.
The Australian Open champion beat her best friend Paula Badosa in straight sets at the Miami Open amid the tragedy, but lost to Ukraine’s Anhelina Kalinina in the next round.
