Aryna Sabalenka is having a dream run at Miami Open where she has entered the women's singles semis with 6-4, 6-4 straight sets win over home girl Hailey Baptiste on Wednesday (Mar 25). She was, however, most surprised on Monday (Mar 23) after beating China's Zheng Qinwen 6-3, 6-4 in Round of 16. The win had put Sabalenka in her 15th consecutive WTA Tour quarterfinal but that was not the reason for her excitement but a $100 hotdog with gold sprinkles on top.

"Oh my god!" were the first words world no. 1 and four-time grand slam winner said as soon as she took the first bite of delicious looking snack. "It's so f***ing good," she continued after evidently enjoying the first bite. "Oh my god. And I'm so hungry. That's my recovery, guys!" she added. Have a look at the moment below:
What's special about the $100 hotdog at Miami Open?
The Golden Glizzy gourmet hotdog has been the hottest topic of discussion at the iconic HardRock stadium ever since Miami Open started last week. It has Australian Wagyu beef, and it is topped with Golden Goat Caviar as well as gold flakes sprinkling. The exotic treat is being sold at $100 the venue.
"Something that captures the city’s energy, bold flavor and playful decadence," Golden Goat Caviar Managing Partner Keith Glickman said about the dish as reported by the Palm Beach Post. “Over the past year, we’ve seen caviar show up in fun, unexpected ways across pop culture, and it’s been exciting to watch. For us, the next step was about building on that momentum with something thoughtfully crafted yet still unapologetically indulgent. In collaboration with Chevre Miami, Ficelle Bakery, and Beauregard's Fine Meats we developed a caviar hot dog that balances craftsmanship with approachability without taking itself too seriously. ”
