Player at a glance

How they play

Aryna Sabalenka won her first Grand Slam singles title at the 2023 Australian Open and reached world No. 1 later that year. The powerful attacker also owns major titles in doubles.

The force of her serve and first groundstroke can dominate a point almost immediately. When the attack wavers, she tends to reset contact point and target while maintaining pressure rather than simply retreating.

What to watch

If you are new to this player

  • After a powerful serve draws a short return, watch where she sends the first forehand.
  • Look for the moment when feet and contact become stable before she adds more force.

For a closer look

  • Record how the next attacking pattern changes with serve placement from the deuce and ad courts.
  • After an attacking error, watch how she maintains swing speed but gives herself a larger target on the next point.
