The ranked number 6 decided it was time to work with a specialist to help her with her difficulties serving. Within 8 months the Belarusian star accumulated over 300 double faults meaning she was getting an average of 8 double faults per match.
At the Western and Southern open she made 29 double faults, it was after this she thought she should see a specialist to improve on her serve.
Whilst speaking to reporters last week Sabalenka revealed that she is working with a specialist to improve in this department of her game. She also confirmed that she is still working with her current coach Anton Dubrov at the same time as her new introduction.
2I changed a lot on my serve, I wouldn’t say the technique, I just worked with a biomechanic guy who is really good. He’s helping me as a coach with my serve, and we are working a lot on my serve and my game. So I think that’s why I kind of kept playing better.” - quoted by Tennis Now.
Since her last title at the Madrid open in 2021 she thought it was time to make an addition to her team in order to help her get back into title winning ways.
Last time out in the Southern and Western Open she lost in the semi finals to the eventual winner Caroline Garcia. Sabalenka has so far reached two tournament finals this season in Stuttgart and Rosmalen. However she has so far she has only managed to get as far as the 3rd round of the French Open and 4th round in Australian Open. Failing to reach a Grand Slam final this season.
Aryna Sabalenka will be hoping the hard work with the specialist will pay off at the US Open as she will try and do better than her semi final loss last year.

- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026

Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA.
