JUST IN <\/strong> Coco Gauff had scary prediction before protesters stormed US Open semi-final[REACTION] <\/strong><\/p>\n After Sabalenka\u2019s victory, she was asked about the embarrassing moment when she forgot the tournament\u2019s rules. \u201cActually I thought that we play tiebreak up to seven,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI don\u2019t know! I was just all over the place, it was crazy. Thanks team for reminding me that it\u2019s actually up to 10.<\/p>\n “It was crazy. I was all over the place. I was just, like, what can I do? She’s playing unbelievable, just crushing everything. I’m not able to do anything, I had zero control in the match. You just have to keep trying, keep staying there, and keep pushing it. Maybe you’ll be able to turn around this game. Lucky me, somehow magically, I don’t know how I was able to turn around this game.”<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

When quizzed about her reaction, Sabalenka admitted that she was expecting to lose after being told to stop celebrating.<\/p>\n \u201cHonestly, I was thinking that if I’m going to lose this semi-final,\u201d she said. \u201cI’ll be struggling with sleep for I don’t know how many days! And I was just, like, I don’t want this to happen. I need some sleep, and I need to be fine.<\/p>\n \u201cI was just, like, come on, keep trying, keep pushing. I don’t know, do something extra. Just try to turn around this match. I think this kind of thinking really helped me to stay in the game and to keep trying, keep pushing, to still have this belief that I have a chance to turn around this match.\u201d<\/p>\n US Open tennis makes its long-awaited return to Sky Sports and it’s certainly not something to be missed.<\/p>\n Sky Sports subscribers on Sky Glass, Sky Stream, Sky Q, and the Sky Sports app will be able to watch all courts for the first time on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n Want to watch the US Open Tennis but don’t own Sky?<\/p>\n Never fear as you can get Sky Glass, Sky TV, Netflix for \u00a314 a month for six months – thanks to a limited time deal.<\/p>\n You can also get six months Sky Sports completely free.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/72\/590x\/secondary\/Aryna-Sabalenka-US-Open-celebrate-4949453.jpg?r=1694163639723\")
