Sabalenka remains in the Miami mix despite death of boyfriend

Aryna Sabalenka was spotted by a Polish blogger on the practice court at the Miami Masters on Tuesday amid conflicting reports on the death of her former hockey player boyfriend.

The Tennis channel reported that the world No. 2 is still planning to play the event with contrasting explanations emerging over the death of 42-year-old  Konstantin Koltsov who was travelling with his double Australian Open champion girlfriend.

The hockey coach was reported by his team to have died from a blood clot. But Miami police say his death was a suicide as he jumped from a hotel balcony  on Collins Avenue just after midnight on Monday.

Koltsov played NHL hockey for the Pittsburgh Penguins and had been dating Sabalenka for three years.
