Tennis champ Anna Kalinskaya's dog is a star!
The long-haired dachshund Bella had front row seats on Friday, 25 July at the Mubadala Citi DC Open, in the Russian box to watch her 'mom' play the quarterfinals, beating number four seed Clara Tauson.
Kalinskaya's puppy came running onto the court to celebrate, much to the crowd's delight.
But it didn't end there - following Saturday's win over Emma Raducanu in the semis, Bella was back on court... clearly, it feels like home.
The two videos of Kalinskaya chasing around the court to catch her cute pup, who was decked out in a pretty pink harness, had crowds at the event and viewers online 'oohing and ahing.'
They were all clear: puppy support is the best support.
"Of course it's gone viral," says Friedman.
