World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka has admitted that there are “many things to improve” as she prepares for the Australian Open, despite her dominant performance in recent seasons. The Belarusian star, who has become a major force in women’s tennis, acknowledged that her game is still a work in progress and that she must focus on refining several aspects of her play ahead of the season’s first Grand Slam.
In her recent matches, including those in Brisbane, Sabalenka has shown glimpses of brilliance, but also moments of inconsistency. The world’s top-ranked player pointed out that while her power and shot-making are key strengths, she must work on reducing unforced errors and maintaining better mental control during high-pressure moments.
“There’s still a lot of areas in my game where I need to improve. It’s not just about the physical side, but also the mental side of things,” Sabalenka said in a post-match interview. “I know I have the potential, but I need to stay calm and focused, and continue to sharpen my game to compete at my best in Melbourne.”
Sabalenka’s frank admission reflects her determination to keep pushing the limits of her potential as she heads into the Australian Open. Despite the challenges, she remains confident that with the right mindset and preparation, she can overcome any obstacles and continue her rise to the top of the tennis world.
