Clear and concise, without delving too much into the specific content of the demand made public by the PTPA, Aryna Sabalenka, the world number one, expressed in a press conference at the 2025 Miami Open what perspective she has in this whole situation. The Belarusian conveyed the desire she would like to see in the circuit, a change that several players, both female and male, have been demanding for some time.

"Honestly, I haven't had much time to research, as I didn't want to delve into it while trying to focus on my tennis, and I didn't want to get upset or anything about the situation. Something I would like to see is that maybe not only WTA players, but all players receive a larger percentage of the money they earn in tournaments and Grand Slams, especially," said the world number one in the press conference. "I think it's fair. If we look at other sports, the percentage works a bit differently, so I think that's the only wish I have."

Feelings on her debut

"I'm very happy to be home, pleased to get my first win here. I haven't had much time to adapt to the conditions. I thought the wind stayed in California, but it follows us wherever we go," Aryna recounted in an interview with Tennis Channel minutes after her debut.

"Honestly, I don't have an answer as to why I haven't been able to play well in Miami in the past. Initially, I went far in Indian Wells, then struggled to maintain the momentum. Last year, I didn't come with the best mentality. I hope it changes this season." Sabalenka will now face Gabriela Ruse in the second round of the tournament.
