Sabalenka was initially caught off guard but then agreed on the condition that everyone in the stands joined in. Santoro called for the music and, on Sabalenka's cue, Roland Garros erupted into a dance spectacle.

The Belarusian star delighted spectators by showing off her moves before attempting the legendary moonwalk, drawing loud cheers from the crowd. She executed it to perfection, making it one of the most memorable post-match interactions of the tournament.

After each win at Roland Garros, Sabalenka has made a habit of entertaining fans on the tournament's social media channels by dancing her way down the stadium stairs. The 28-year-old's celebratory routines have become a recurring highlight of the event, often drawing widespread attention online.

She had even sparked a friendly dance rivalry with Novak Djokovic earlier in the tournament, challenging the Serbian star to show off his own moves after his victories. Sabalenka later called it off following the Serbian's exit from the tournament.
