Aryna Sabalenka has asked for privacy following the death of her former partner, Konstantin Koltsov, who died on Monday in Miami at the age of 42.
"Konstantin's death is an unthinkable tragedy, and while we are no longer together, my heart is broken. Please respect my privacy and his family's privacy during this difficult time," she wrote on Instagram.
Sabalenka is currently competing in the Miami Open, where she is set to face her best friend, Paula Badosa, in the second round. The match, which was meant to be played on Thursday, has been pushed back to Friday because of the current circumstances.
