Petkovic, who has been retired for two years, is on the hot search, which is indirectly thanks to Sabalenka!

If you're a veteran tennis fan, you'll know who Petkovic is. That's right! She is the German girl who likes to dance and celebrate every time she wins, and is known as the "dancer"!

Pedkovic has won six tournaments in his career, the last of which was the 2022 US Open, when the German dancer announced her retirement shortly after losing to Swiss star Bencic in the first round.

So, how did Petkovic, who has been retired for two years and rarely appears in tennis, get involved with Sabalenka? It stems from the topic of how well-known Belarusian girls are in the United States.

"No one in the United States knows who she is, even though she is the world number one in tennis, not as good as Emma. Even more regrettable, Sabalenka and Rybakina combined make less money from their sponsors than Raducanu. "In the past, when someone mentioned Petkovic, they said that the German dancer was very daring to say it, and judging from her words in an interview a few days ago, it really deserved her name. What was even more surprising was that she just talked about Sabalenka, and also piggybacked on Rybakina, which made many people speechless.

What is even more surprising is that Petkovic's words have not been refuted by too many people from the outside world, but many people think that she has told the truth, and even said things that others dare not say for fear of offending people.

In fact, at last year's US Open, there was always talk about Sabalenka's lack of popularity in the United States.

The Belarusian girl's words after reaching the US Open final have made her question.

"If I win the US Open final, I'll have cocktails with all the fans in the room!" Sabalenka's words seemed humorous and seemed to be intended to stir up the atmosphere of the scene, but it was perceived by some as deliberately trying to please the American audience.

Because as a well-known player in the tennis world, it is impossible for her to make such jokes, and if she does not honor the championship, it will damage her reputation and image. In addition, some people have roughly calculated that the US Open final will be watched by nearly 20,000 people, and each cocktail will cost about $23, and if you have one drink per person, Sabalenka will have to pay about $600,000 for this alone, which is not a small amount.

And knowing that it costs a lot, but the Belarusian girl still says so, it is inevitable to be questioned for deliberately using topics to carry out good popularity marketing, otherwise there would not be a lot of voices like "routine marketing" on the public opinion side at that time.

Of course, after Sabalenka finally won the championship, it is unknown whether she fulfilled her promise to invite all the audience to drink cocktails in the final, because there is no relevant information leaking out, but this incident is considered by the outside world to be a fact that the Belarusian girl hopes to get more attention and increase her popularity in the United States.

Now Petkovic pointed out that Sabalenka's popularity in the United States is not high, far less than Raducanu, who won the US Open in 2021, and many things are linked together, and the words of the German dancer are naturally considered to be no problem, after all, Petkovic has no reason to maliciously slander Sabalenka, and there is no relationship between the two, and there is no need to be hostile to the Belarusian girl.

Petkovic is believed to be telling the truth, as well as the fact that she pointed out that Sabalenka and Rybakina do not earn as much as Raducanu.

Not long ago, the well-known media SportCIO and Forbes announced the global female athlete income rankings, Sabalenka, Rybakina and Raducanu are all on the list, but in terms of specific sponsor income, Sabalenka's $8 million and Rybakina's $4 million all add up to less than Raducanu's $14 million. Therefore, the German dancer's evaluation of Sabalenka is considered credible.

As the current world No. 1, the results of Grand Slams and other tournaments directly crushed Raducanu, and in the end, the popularity and sponsorship income were not as high as those of the British girl, which really made many people complain about Sabalenka.

But there is no way to do it, a domestic fan and netizen bluntly said that Sabalenka is to blame for being born in a small country, if she was born in China, with her current results, "She is definitely a superstar, and her popularity has already soared into the sky." ”

"Zheng Qinwen's current Grand Slam champion and 1000 championship are not any, and her income exceeds that of the Fried Emperor, if the Fried Emperor is Chinese, you don't have to think about how much her popularity and wealth will grow, and she will definitely get bigger." When some people feel sorry for Sabalenka, they also bluntly say that her place of birth determines the upper limit of her commercial value. At the same time, he also bluntly said that if Sabalenka wants to change the embarrassment in the mouth of German dancers, she needs to continue to work hard!(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
