Jelena Dokic responded to a fan who made fun of her Australian Open dance with tennis champion Aryna Sabalenka.
After Sabalenka sealed a straight-sets victory against former US Open champion Sloane Stephens on Sunday night, Dokic asked her to show off her dance moves.
The moment was shared on Eurosport’s Instagram page along with the caption: “Name a better dance duo.”
“I’ll name 1,000,” one troll commented on the post.
Dokic responded: “Go ahead. There’s always one of you.” Bye bye.’
The troll continued: “I was under the impression that you were at the Australian Open to offer your experience and knowledge about tennis.”

“I am and I do, I go and listen to everything I did yesterday, so as to get something different out of the players and have and not just talk about forehands and backhands.” Goodbye,’ Dokic responded.
After Sabalenka’s match at the 2024 Australian Open champion, Dokic played several of the 26-year-old’s dance TikToks on the big screen.
Sabalenka stated: “I’m doing the best I can, I’m not the best dancer, but I’m doing the best I can.”
But Dokic pressed further and told the world number one: ‘I have a question. You always dance but there is no one in the crowd. So I have an idea…’
Sabalenka appeared to blush before saying, “Only if the whole crowd joins me!”
‘Of course, but how about we dance? If you want I can dance with you,’ Dokic said.
And he added: ‘Show us the moves!’
The tunes began to be played at full volume on the tannoy system inside the Rod Laver Arena, and the pair subsequently began showing off their dancing skills.

“I will name 1,000 (best dancers),” one troll commented on the video. Dokic responded: “Go ahead. There’s always one of you.” Bye bye’
Australian actress Rebel Wilson in the crowd was seen standing dancing, while Sabalenka and Dokic danced on the court.
“Now they’ve approved that I’m the worst dancer,” Sabalenka said into the microphone, laughing after the joke.
Sabalenka impressed on Sunday against Stephens taking a 4-0 lead in the first set.
As she struggled to fend off the American’s advances, with Stephens counterattacking twice, she would close with a break of her own before serving for set point.
Sabalenka again began to pressure her opponent in the second set and this time she would be more clinical on her own serve, not allowing Stephens to hit her back before she won the match.
