Aryna Sabalenkathe reigning champion of the Australian Openstarted this new edition where she defends the title with a great victory against Sloane Stephens. The world number one continues her winning streak that began with the new year. In a press conference, the Belarusian confesses how she experienced the match, in addition to commenting on the innovative measure of the tournament allowing coaches on court.
“There is a big difference if I compare myself to the Aryna of three years ago. At that time, I would get frustrated and probably lose the first set. I’m not sure if I would win the match. I am very happy to have improved my mental strength. I am able to maintain focus regardless of the scoreboard, no matter the situation. I focus on the game, on the exchange, point by point.”
About the absence of a flag next to her name
“I have always been proud to have been able to come from a country as small as Belarus. It would be nice to see my flag next to my name, but I’m not sure I have the control to change it. When it happens, I will be happy to see it.”
Presence of coaches on court
“Honestly, I am not a big fan of that decision. If you do it, then add more seats. For example, personally, I like to see the whole team. I want to see everyone in my box. Even if I don’t pay attention to everyone. I always look at my coach, but I see them all. That is important to me. Sometimes I just want to look at my boyfriend for support, for example. Four seats are not enough, because I have a lot of coaches.”
The biggest lesson of 2024
“The biggest lesson I learned last year is not to focus on defending the title or having the chance to write your name in tennis history. The key is to focus on oneself and give your best.”
