"I think it's the first time that someone proposed during my match," Sabalenka said. "It was a very sweet moment, but I was just trying not to start smiling, because it's very cute and I believe they're super happy right now."

Fans began cheering as soon as they saw the man drop to one knee with the ring in his hand. Some took cell phones out to record the moment as the woman said yes through her joyous tears. "I was just trying to keep focusing on my game, and it was great moment," Sabalenka said. "And as I said on court, I wish them a happy marriage."
