Aryna Sabalenka has started off on the right foot on the grass circuit with a great victory against Ekaterina Aleandrova at WTA Berlin 2026 after admitting she had to see a psychiatrist due to her tough defeat at Roland Garros against Diana Shnaider. Additionally, after the match, she had a fun moment talking about what it means to be number 1 and how she viewed Roger Federer.

Still on the court, the Belarusian tennis player was asked if she often thinks about being the world number 1 when she wakes up each morning, and her response was priceless. "Never. I think if I woke up like that, I wouldn't be number 1 for so many weeks." Even funnier was the next moment when they told her, "I once talked to Roger Federer and he told me, 'There's a number 1, and then there's everyone else'. Is he right?" "I don't think he said that," Sabalenka replied.

Why Aryna Sabalenka is going through a results crisis

It's quite daring to say that Sabalenka's season is bad, as she still holds the throne in women's tennis and has won three tournaments so far this year, including two WTA 1000 events. However, the truth is that the Grand Slams continue to elude her, and the most crucial factor is mental. The Belarusian player freezes up when the critical moments of the season arrive, leaving her with disappointment after disappointment.

In the Australian Open, Elena Rybakina emerged victorious in the final with an outstanding performance, but defeats like those at Roland Garros against Shnaider, against Baptiste in Madrid, or against Cirstea in Rome are the result of those psychological issues she has been grappling with for too long. That's why she says she doesn't think much about being number 1, as once the ghosts enter her mind, they are impossible to chase away.
