In a thrilling turn of events at the 2024 Cincinnati Open, Aryna Sabalenka emerged victorious in the women’s tournament, while Jannik Sinner clinched the title in the men’s event. Amidst the celebrations, Sabalenka made headlines not only for her impressive performance on the court but also for her post-match revelry plans which involved indulging in some tequila.
Following Sabalenka’s revelation, all eyes turned to Sinner to see if he would follow suit and partake in some celebratory drinks. However, the Italian sensation had a different approach to celebrating his triumph, as he professed his lack of interest in alcohol and instead expressed his preference for a refreshing Coca-Cola.
“I am not a guy who drinks. I am more happy when I have a Coke or something easy,” Sinner shared in an interview with Prakash Amritraj on the Tennis Channel. “But I enjoy it more just to have a good company… That for me is much more important than the rest.”
As Sabalenka and Sinner basked in the glow of their Cincinnati victories, they shared their thoughts on their respective celebratory treats. Sabalenka, known for her fiery on-court demeanor, joked about getting older and replacing sweets with tequila, specifically endorsing the margarita as the perfect post-win indulgence.
“You know, I’m getting old… There is tequila. You got to try a margarita. That’s the best drink. You have to drink a margarita. Really great one and it’s not that heavy,” Sabalenka quipped during her interview on Tennis Channel.
Sinner, on the other hand, remained grounded in his preferences, emphasizing the importance of good company over extravagant celebrations. Despite his victory over Frances Tiafoe, the young tennis star’s focus was on savoring the moment with those around him rather than indulging in alcohol.
“I like sweets, so you know, for me that. I am not a guy who drinks… but let’s see… I enjoy it more just to have a good company,” Sinner shared in his post-match interview.
As the tennis world celebrated the triumphs of Sabalenka and Sinner at the Cincinnati Open, it became evident that each player had their own unique way of reveling in their success. While Sabalenka opted for tequila and margaritas to mark the occasion, Sinner found joy in the simple pleasures of a cold Coca-Cola and the company of loved ones.
