Tennis star Aryna Sabalenka comes close to causing Carlos Alcaraz to exit a live TV interview prematurely due to an awkward slip-up during their discussion.

In the heart of New York City, the spotlight shone bright on tennis stars Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka as they graced the stage of a popular morning show. The occasion? Their triumphant victories at the US Open 2022.

Alcaraz, now the world No1, reclaimed his top spot from Jannik Sinner following his impressive win in the final. His rivalry with Sinner, which he sees as special, has led to them splitting Grand Slam titles and pushing each other to greatness.

Meanwhile, Sabalenka successfully defended her US Open title, beating Amanda Anisimova in an intense match. Her victory also meant that she and Alcaraz, both US Open trophy holders, now share another remarkable milestone - a birthday. Sabalenka playfully acknowledged this fact in a TikTok caption.

During the interview on the Today show, the dynamic duo shared more than just their triumphs. They also made a TikTok video together, showcasing their dance moves and their US Open trophies. Interestingly, Sabalenka demonstrated more conviction in their dance moves, leaving Alcaraz somewhat bewildered.

A light-hearted moment occurred when Sabalenka almost called Alcaraz by Sinner's name, causing a reaction among the hosts. Alcaraz, taking it in good humour, jokingly considered leaving the studio. Sabalenka quickly apologised for the slip-up.

The TikTok post, which features Alcaraz and Sabalenka clutching their US Open trophies while dancing, was shared by Sabalenka. Alcaraz commented on the post, expressing his confusion about what he did wrong.

It seems that tennis bosses are keen on Alcaraz embracing TikTok due to a strategic partnership. With his newfound TikTok fame, Alcaraz may find himself collaborating more with fellow tennis players, such as Anna Kalinskaya, who sought to partner with Jannik Sinner on a TikTok post during the US Open 2022.

In the end, the US Open champions' appearance on the Today show was a testament to their sportsmanship, camaraderie, and the infectious energy they bring to the tennis world. Their rivalry, while pushing them to their limits, has undoubtedly made them better players, and fans eagerly anticipate their future encounters on the court.
