Al-Hilal striker Neymar took advantage of his time off to watch tennis player Aryna Sabalenka. After the Belarusian’s confrontation with the Chinese Qinwen Zheng, at the WTA Finals, held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the Brazilian player took the opportunity to group the number one in the tennis world and shared it on social media.
“We went to see the queen of tennis play,” wrote the 32-year-old athlete.

In addition to Tieta Sabalenka, Neymar took the opportunity to present Brazilian tennis player Luisa Stefani — she was called in a hurry to be a reserve at the WTA Finals — with an Al-Hilal shirt. The player also flipped the coin in the confrontation between Jasmine Paolini and Elena Rybakina.
Neymar has shown himself to be a big fan of tennis. Last month, the striker attended an exhibition match by Carlos Alcaraz in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — where the Brazilian lives. After the match, he joined the Spanish tennis player while still on the court and praised the meeting. “Glad to see you, brother. You are a phenomenon”, wrote Neymar.
After being sidelined for a year, Neymar returned to the field at the end of last month, in the game against Al-Ain, in the Asian Champions League. The number 10 ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on October 17, 2023, in the Brazilian team’s defeat to Uruguay, in the World Cup qualifiers.
