Aryna Sabalenka mourns the death of her ex-boyfriend Konstantin Koltsov.

Two-time Australian Open winner Aryna Sabalenka said she was deeply saddened by the death of her long-time partner, Konstantin Koltsow. In a statement from her agent, the 25-year-old also said she was no longer in a relationship with Koltsow at the time of his death.

“Konstantin’s death is an unimaginable tragedy, and although we were no longer together, my heart is broken,” the Belarusian said in her first statement since Koltsov’s death: “Please respect my privacy and that of his family in this difficult time.”

Former NHL player Koltsow died at the age of 42. The Belarusian Ice Hockey Association announced this on Tuesday. Koltsow “died suddenly,” the statement said. Police in Miami, where Koltsow died, are ruling it a suicide, authorities announced later in the day, according to AFP.

Koltsow played for the Pittsburgh Penguins in the NHL from 2002 to 2006. Sabalenka, ranked second in the world, apparently wants to participate in the Miami Open despite Koltsow’s death and play her opening match against her Spanish friend Paula Badosa. (AFP)
