Aryna Sabalenka debuted with a victory this morning at the WTA 1000 in Toronto 2024 against Yue Yuan, who did not pose many problems for her (6-2, 6-2), although very few know what the Belarusian has been through in recent months. After missing Wimbledon due to a shoulder injury that kept her away from the courts for a month, the World No. 3 explained in a press conference how she has had to adjust her schedule, even her serve mechanics, to take care of the joint and regain the tranquility on the court that allows her to play without fear of a relapse.

"It's a different experience, I hope not to go through it again in my career. It was very difficult to play the first tournament because you tend to be overprotective, trying not to overdo it, constantly protecting your shoulder, but that ultimately generates more tension. In Washington, I was in a lot of pain, but here we did a lot of mobility stretches. I am spending a lot of extra time on mobility, additional stretches, and some extra treatment. Now I feel much better with my shoulder, I realize that I don't have to protect it, that it is clean, that I can go for it without fear of getting injured again. Right now, I feel freer on the court, so finally I can stay focused on the game and compete," said the player from Minsk.
