Nothing to lose, much to progress, and even more to enjoy. Aryna Sabalenka faces the clay court tour with a very important gap in the WTA ranking compared to her pursuers, but even more noticeable in terms of game sensations. The Belarusian is aware that every legendary tennis player must be able to triumph on clay and faces this tour with that maxim.

It was always said that the biggest rival of Aryna Sabalenka was herself, but with that controlled irregularity that an elite tennis player can have and her main opponents in a slump, it is impossible not to think that the real challenge for the Belarusian is to continue writing golden pages in the history of tennis. Clay is uncharted territory for her; except in Madrid, she has not been able to win any other important tournament, with Rome and especially Roland Garros being her great aspirations.

- Sabalenka claims to have already understood what she needs to do to improve on clay

"I had a week available to train on clay before starting to compete here in Stuttgart. The truth is that I am feeling more and more comfortable, showing variety in my tennis and getting used to putting more spin on the ball with my shots than I usually do on hard courts," says Sabalenka, who is already in the semifinals and will now face a tough test against the Italian Jasmine Paolini.

It will be interesting to see how she performs against a player whose best performance comes on this surface. "I think I will continue to improve on clay because I am increasingly able to maintain maximum concentration for longer periods and, physically, I am a very powerful player. I see myself ready for great battles on this surface and I have realized that I should not rush to find winners and I need to adjust my game a bit," affirmed Aryna Sabalenka, who is two wins away from achieving another major success, this time at the WTA 500 Stuttgart 2024.
