Faced with the wave of Russian and Belarusian tennis players changing nationalities, Aryna Sabalenka, the greatest exponent of Belarus, doesn't even consider it. She stated this on the Piers Morgan show: "I have always felt very proud to represent such a small country and I am an inspiration for the youth there. Changing nationality is not in my plans; I don't want to betray those children. I want to represent Belarus for those kids who see me and feel inspired by me. I hope that with my example, they think that they can also go far," expressed the world number one.

Could Sabalenka change nationalities? Nope she says " I don't want to betray those kids, I want to represent Belarus for these kids from that country to see me competing on a high level and get inspired by me" 🥹🥹https://t.co/n6PN2GVqxL pic.twitter.com/AielxxN2Sm
