You can't blame her for trying, but she may not have thought that through.

Multiple drinks at the U.S. Open cost more than $20. So with a crowd of more than 20,000 people, thank could be a costly bar tab. But hey, it's worth it if the crowd support helps you pocket the $3.6 million grand prize.

Sabalenka and Navarro will face off at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Thursday, though an official match time has yet to be determined.
