<p>Sabalenka attended the match in a white sleeveless co-ord set, and fans were quick to react to her appearance at the UFC match.</p>
<p>Earlier, she suffered a loss in the final of the US Open 2026 against <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/other-sports/article/us-open-2026-elena-rybakina-speaks-about-the-title-clash-against-aryna-sabalenka-23649690" rel="nofollow"><strong>Elena Rybakina</strong></a>. The 28-year-old athlete was denied a three-peat by 4-6, 7-5, 2-6.</p>
<p>Following the victory, Rybakina acknowledged the crowd before greeting Sabalenka, who was sitting on the bench. She was seen smashing her racket on the court and later tossed it aside.</p>
<p>The Belarusian yelled at the cameraperson who tried to capture her emotions after the loss.</p>
<p>In the China Open, she managed to secure a win against Mexico's Renata Zaraz&uacute;a in the round of 64 before crashing out in the round of 32.</p>
<p>She registered a win by 6-1 and 6-3 against Zaraz&uacute;a, but fell short by 4-2 and 3-6 against Czech Republic's Nikola Bartůňkov&aacute; in the round of 32.</p>
<p>Sabalenka also suffered a loss in the round of 32 at the Wuhan Open. The USA's Ann Li defeated her 3-6, 6-4, 7-6.</p>
<p>She skipped the WTA 500 events in Asia. The Belarusian could have played herself, but she chose rest and a clear run at the year-end prize.</p>
<p>Currently, she is enjoying the second rank in the WTA rankings with a total of 7550 points. Rybakina is at the top with 9501 points, and Mirra Andreeva is in the third place with 6306 points.</p>
<p>However, she is yet to play her last event in 2026 at the WTA Finals and will look to end the season on a high note. Having qualified for the sixth year in a row for the tournament showcases her dominance in the sport. Her potential clash against Rybakina will be interesting to watch out for.</p>
<p>The venue will also add to the drama, as the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/other-sports/article/wta-finals-aryna-sabalenka-beats-coco-gauff-to-advance-to-last-four-23602222" rel="nofollow"><strong>WTA Finals</strong></a> is all set to take place in Indian Wells for a one-off edition in 2026. The WTA Finals 2026 is set to be played from November 8 to 15.</p>
