‘How cute is that?’ Aryna Sabalenka meets her ‘mini me’ at the US Open

At Louis Armstrong Stadium, a young fan at the second-round match was decked out in a replica of Sabalenka’s pink Nike dress and with a tiger stuffed animal. She was seen cheering Sabalenka on throughout the match.

The fan even had a tattoo on her arm like Sabalenka – through presumably the fan’s tattoo was fake. “It was really adorable moment,” Sabalenka said. “I just looked up, and I saw on the big screen, like, mini me. It was so cute.

“It’s such a motivation to keep going to inspire the young generation.”

Sabalenka thanked her lookalike after her win, saying in her on-court interview, “You’re so cute, and I hope you’re going to be on this level soon.”

In a heart melting scene, the dynamic duo met, with Sabalenka giving her superfan a hug and taking photos with her.

“(This was) the first time I see someone dress up the same as me and having little tattoo and little tiger. How cute is that?” Sabalenka said.
