Aryna Sabalenka has been the main protagonist of these past couple of weeks in the tennis world. Her Battle of the Sexes clash against Nick Kyrgios and the highly publicized defeat of the world number one have sparked controversial debates both on social media and within the circuits.

Despite this, the Belarusian player continues with her head held high and her focus set on her next challenge: the WTA Brisbane 2026, where she will compete in both singles and doubles. Aryna also wanted to dedicate some nice words to her friend Paula Badosa.

"I'm always super motivated when I come to Australia, I love playing here, I want to stay for as long as possible. I want to do better than in last year's final. It's not about the heat, but about the people, the atmosphere. The support from the people in Melbourne is incredible," Sabalenka said at the Media Day of the ATP Brisbane 2025.

Sabalenka's beautiful words towards Badosa

"She's a fighter. Sabadosa is back, so we'll have a great time on the court. It was tough for me to see her suffer too, I'm always there for her. We talk a lot. I tried to give her my best advice, I was there for whatever she needed. I know she will return to her level. I just want to make sure her body is protected and strong to go for it."

The difference of arriving in Australia without having to defend the title

"Honestly, there's no difference. Whether the defending champion or having lost in the first round the previous year, my goal is the same, bring out my best tennis and improve my game. That's how I take it. I always focus on myself, on developing my game and making sure I'm there 100%."
