Tricky runner-up tennis champion Aryna Sabalenka doesn’t recognize Jude Law in the crowd after her win at Brisbane International: ‘I feel so bad!’
Belarusian tennis champion Aryna Sabalenka won her match against Daria Kasatkina at the Brisbane International in Queensland, Australia on Friday night, and there was a very famous fan in the crowd watching.
The world number 2 was left nervous in her post-match interview when she was informed by Channel Nine correspondent Jelena Dokic that among the faces in the stands was a British superstar: none other than Jude Law.
But things got very awkward when it became clear that Sabalenka, 25, had no idea who Law, 51, was.
“There’s a very special person here tonight,” Dokic told her.
“He’s an actor, and he’s making a video in Queensland, and he’s in Sherlock Holmes. Do you know who I’m talking about?’

With Sabalenka stunned, Dokic tried to help her by listing some of Law’s films, including The Talented Mr Ripley and The Holiday.
‘Can you show me it? I feel so bad,” an embarrassed Sabalenka said, laughing.
“He watched your game tonight, he was in the crowd cheering for you – it’s Jude Law,” Dokic said, to cheers from the crowd.
“Wow… thank you so much for the support,” Sabalenka replied, seemingly none the wiser even after the big reveal.
