A fierce competitor who is helping to change this sport. Aryna Sabalenka is aware of the impact her style of play and charisma have on the global women's tennis, which is why her reflections on how this sport has evolved over the past five years are very interesting. She shared these thoughts after securing her spot in the semifinals of the US Open 2024.

A prominent media figure, exuberant personality, and overwhelming tennis skills when inspired. All of this describes Aryna Sabalenka, one of the leading figures in women's tennis worldwide. Following a display of her dominance in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2024 against China's Zheng, the European tennis player addressed various topics of great interest, such as the evolution of women in this sport and what key qualities make her one of the best in the world.

- What have been the keys to becoming one of the best tennis players on the planet

"The essential elements to aspire to glory in today's tennis are what you are willing to endure and fight for to achieve your goals. It's crucial to have a great ability to overcome difficult moments and win matches when you don't feel your best," said the Belarusian tennis player, currently ranked number 2 in the world. "It is essential to be surrounded by the right people with whom you can be open and honest with yourself. Being able to speak freely with your coach is very important for progress, and I feel that has been key in my development," she emphasized.

Asked about which aspects she has improved the most in her game, Sabalenka is clear. "I have become a consistent and experienced player. Before, I put a lot of pressure on myself, and being in the second week of a Grand Slam caused me enormous stress. I didn't know how to manage my emotions, spent my days off thinking about tennis, and wasted energy. Now I try to take it easy, be aware of what I can control and what I can't. I have learned to enjoy this profession," she asserted.

"It is not easy to make comparisons because five years ago, for example, I was a completely different tennis player than I am now. However, what I am sure of is that all women are mentally stronger now, and the pace of the game has increased. We have access to an enormous amount of statistical data, prompting more accurate tactical approaches. Ultimately, it is crucial how we manage pressure in important moments. I am very clear that women's tennis has improved a lot in recent years and is very enjoyable to watch," concluded Aryna Sabalenka, who dreams of claiming her third Grand Slam title in this US Open 2024.
