After a well-deserved break following her victory at the US Open 2025, Aryna Sabalenka resumes her circuit activity at the WTA Wuhan 2025. The Belarusian player, world number one, returns to competition after a month away from the courts, although the pressure remains.

Having won the last three editions of the tournament, expectations cannot be higher for Sabalenka who arrives in great form both in terms of tennis and mentally. Just before her debut at the WTA Wuhan 2025, the world number one held a press conference to address various topics.

- Aryna Sabalenka comments on the hate she receives on social media

"We all receive a lot of hate. Throughout my career, I faced a lot of hatred, and many different kinds of hatred for different reasons, so I thought the more attention you pay to it, the more energy it takes away," Sabalenka confessed at the Chinese WTA 1000 Media Day, as reported by Tennis365.

How does Sabalenka handle those comments?

"I feel it is better to ignore it, but sometimes, of course, I see those messages and, out of curiosity, I go to the profile of the person who sent me the message. Sometimes it shocks me. Sometimes there are mothers sending messages with terrible things. Sometimes it's just that the person does nothing and comments on those who are trying to do something in life, who are trying to motivate and inspire the next generation.

I take it as a joke. I feel they are people who have never been in our situation and make terrible comments. It just shows how terrible they are as individuals, and I believe that all players should take it as a joke and never, never, never, never delve into that dark space of social media."

Aryna Sabalenka, sobre el odio en redes.

"Right now, I'm like an open book. Sometimes they ask me, 'What would surprise people the most about you?' And I tell them: 'They know everything, literally everything about me!' I show everything. The main reason is that I look very aggressive on the court and I can't see myself play. I feel awful about myself because I'm super aggressive. I felt like connecting with people. I wanted to feel support in the stadiums. I wanted to experience that support, so I felt I needed to share who I am."
