There is no rest for a woman accustomed to glory. Aryna Sabalenka wants to keep making history and is on the right track, with an empire full of consistency, magic, and continuous progression in her tennis. The Belarusian player added the 22nd title of her professional career by becoming the champion in the WTA 500 Brisbane 2026, and her words in the press conference highlight her greatness.

Adjectives run out to describe what Aryna Sabalenka is doing in the tennis world. The Belarusian continues to inscribe her name in gold letters in all possible records, and winning the WTA 500 Brisbane 2026 is the perfect way to start the season, putting distance between herself and Swiatek in the fight for the number 1 spot and making up for the bad feelings caused by that fateful exhibition against Kyrgios a few weeks ago.

Sabalenka sees herself as a very mature player with varied gameplay

"It's great to start the season so well; I'm very happy with the level of play I've shown. I've surprised myself with the number of winners I've hit. Tennis is beautiful because every day you have to step onto the court to prove your worth. I just focus on getting better each day, making sure I'm healthy, and arriving in the best condition in Melbourne," said Sabalenka, who is very pleased with the work done.

One of the main concerns of the Belarusian in recent times has been to make her game more varied and unpredictable, making changes in tempo with sliced shots and drop shots that she executes more effectively. "I'm no longer just a baseline hitter. I've changed my playing style a lot; I feel like I can do everything on the court, I have good touch, and I have several plans to win matches. I trust my instincts, I have experience, and I have reached a great maturity as a player. I've been working on it for a long time, and it's great to see that it's paying off," affirmed Aryna Sabalenka, who will be the favorite at the Open de Australia 2026.
