Look, we’ve all been there – you make plans with someone, they get hurt, and suddenly everyone else wants to step in as the replacement. But Aryna Sabalenka?

Miryni was asked to join the Sabalenka team by her head coach Anton Dubrov. Miryni had been an accomplished serve-volley player and the thinking is that Sabalenka should be able to use her skills coming off her big serve by volleying more.

World No. 1 and defending Cincinnati Open champion Aryna Sabalenka beat Emma Raducanu in one of the longest matches in tournament history Aug. 11.

Well, well, well. Look who’s back from the tennis wilderness. Iga Swiatek just reminded everyone why writing her off was about as smart as betting against a Polish powerhouse with a grudge.

Sabalenka has no interest in finding a replacement for Dimitrov after the Bulgarian pulled out of the US Open.

The draw for the men’s and women’s singles will take place on Thursday 21 August. The start time of the draw has yet to have been confirmed but the ceremony usually takes place at around 5pm BST. It will be available to watch live on the US Open website.
