Aryna Sabalenka has returned to the circuit just as she left it a month ago: dominating. The world number one made her comeback in the WTA Wuhan after skipping the WTA 1000 in Beijing and continues unbeaten for almost two months.

In fact, the last stumble of Aryna Sabalenka was against the same player she just defeated in the WTA Wuhan: Elena Rybakina. The Kazakh was superior at the WTA Cincinnati, but since then, the world number one has collected ten consecutive victories and a US Open title in between. With her success in New York, she now has four Grand Slam titles, although they could have been six if she had not fallen in the finals of the Australian Open and Roland Garros.

Nevertheless, the Belarusian stated in an interview with Tennis365 that she is not obsessed with titles but aims to strive for as many titles as possible, although she is aware that the number of 23 Grand Slam titles won by Serena Williams is a distant figure. Therefore, the tigress from Minsk focuses solely on improving day by day, continuing to dominate the circuit, and allowing time to judge her place in tennis history.

Aryna Sabalenka and the possibilities of surpassing Serena Williams in Grand Slam titles

"We all want to break records, I think that is obvious. I believe the right thing to do is to focus on yourself, on your game, on developing as a player and as a person. If you deserve those great titles, if you deserve to break some records, you will. So, my goal is to develop as a player. And of course, I want to do it, but it is going to be very difficult to match the Grand Slam titles that Serena Williams has."

Lives for and through tennis

"I suppose for me, the goal is to go as far as possible in this sport, and I give my best every day. I dedicate my life to this sport. So I really hope that at the end of my career, I will relax, look at my results, and feel very proud of myself."

Focuses on one match at a time

"I feel that the goals are very obvious, and I don't like to set one. I love focusing on myself, and what I learned throughout the year is that I have to focus only on myself. And anyway, whenever I am competing, I want to win, so I concentrate on each match, step by step."

Has learned from defeats in the Australian Open and Roland Garros finals

"I think those tough defeats and the challenges I had to face this year definitely made me stronger as a person and better as a player. It is a learning process. And what I have learned over the years is to accept everything and give my best at every moment. And that's it. Basically, that's all you can control," says Aryna Sabalenka, who meanwhile keeps winning match after match.
