Incredible, but true. Aryna Sabalenka has admitted in a recent interview that she was so desperate about her inability to achieve big results due to her tendency to make double faults that she was very close to retiring. The Belarusian was perceived as a great star, but struggled a lot to take the final step to materialize her potential into titles.

The lack of trust was piling up due to her inability to reduce the double faults, reaching a total of 428 in one season. It was in 2022, and by the end of the year, she informed her team that she was quitting tennis. At that moment, her fitness coach, Jason Stacy, convinced her to give biomechanics a chance as a remedy for her issue. It worked wonders.

To think Aryna almost retired if it wasn't for Jason Stacy!!!! Sabalenka did 428 double faults in 2022 and thought about quitting luckily Jason her fitness coach told her " wait we haven't tried biomechanics yet" 😭😭😭😭 and the rest is history. pic.twitter.com/DJnra8oGHW
