After Aryna Sabalenka's victory over Naomi Osaka at the French Open, former tennis player Andy Roddick expressed his confusion regarding a request made by broadcaster Fabrice Santoro for Sabalenka to dance with the crowd. Sabalenka won the match in straight sets, 7-5, 6-3. Although she initially hesitated, she complied with the request, which Roddick described as 'weird' during his podcast 'Served.' He noted that while he appreciates the personality aspect of post-match interviews, he found the request inappropriate for a professional setting. Roddick also acknowledged that Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic had engaged in celebratory dances during the tournament. Sabalenka, currently ranked No. 1 in women's singles, is set to compete against No. 25 Diana Shnaider in the quarterfinals.
