Finalist at the WTA 500 in Stuttgart and champion at the WTA 1000 in Madrid, Aryna Sabalenka has a very convincing clay season. A more than positive assessment, just over two weeks from Roland – Garros.
Performances that do not leave Paul Annacone insensitive. In The Inside‐In Tennis Podcastthe former coach of Roger Federer (2010 –2013) is under the spell of the world number one. As a reminder, the Belarusian has gone from a muddled player chaining the double faults, to a queen of the ruthless circuit.
“She is an outstanding competitor. We see the emotional volatility it has, and when it uses it optimally, and that it uses it as a passion, it is extraordinary. When it is very hard with it and it becomes negative, it can be more difficult for it. But she was incredibly dominant. I think the conditions in Madrid were excellent for her, because it is at altitude and it’s fast. Of course, it’s clay, but it’s fast. She managed these moments very well, and it is really she that you have to beat. It is incredible to see her in great moments, because she has completely confidence in her. A few years ago, we observed someone who really had trouble service. This is no longer the case today. From time to time, she commits some double faults, but that no longer disturbs her. She has experienced incredible progression and I think it will be very difficult to drop it from this pedestal. ”
