全仏オープンで勝ち進んだアリーナ・サバレンカが、ノバク・ジョコビッチとの遊び心あふれる階段ダンス対決を再燃させた。世界ランキング1位のサバレンカは5月26日、ジェシカ・ブザス・マネイロを6-4、6-2で下した後、セルビアのスター選手であるジョコビッチが以前投げかけた挑戦に直接応じた。
サバレンカは荷物を置くと、カメラを見つめながらローラン・ギャロスの階段でダンスを披露し、「ノバク、これならどう？」と語った。このパフォーマンスは、ジョコビッチがジョバンニ・ムペッチ・ペリカールとの1回戦に勝利した後、昨年話題となったダンスを再現し、「これを見てくれ！！アリーナ、これには勝てないだろう。挑戦状を叩きつけるよ」と投稿したことに対するもの。
