Belarusian tennis star Aryna Sabalenka has transformed from a hard-court specialist into an all-surface threat, defying critics and expectations. Now, she’s set to face Coco Gauff in the Roland Garros final.
Sabalenka’s rise on clay was unexpected, even by her childhood coaches. However, she remained motivated and confident, dismissing negative comments about her intelligence and abilities. The player has spoken out against those who doubted her, saying “We’ll see” when faced with such criticism.
With a new coaching team led by Anton Dubrov and Jason Stacy, Sabalenka’s approach has changed, shifting her perspective to focus on success rather than negativity. This shift has led to improved results, including a stunning semifinal victory over four-time champion Iga Swiatek.
