Aryna
Sabalenka has been seen training in the sweltering heat of Florida as she
prepares for the upcoming US Open Series swing.
The
Belarusian player reached the semifinals of Wimbledon, narrowly missing the
chance to claim the world No. 1 ranking. If she had made it to the final, she
would have surpassed Swiatek, who was eliminated in the quarterfinals.
Nonetheless,
Sabalenka remains close to Swiatek in the WTA rankings, and with strong
performances in the upcoming WTA 1000 Canadian Open and Cincinnati Open, she
has the opportunity to surpass the Polish player.
Currently,
as the world No. 2, she is training in Florida, where she resides, at the Evert
Academy of Grandview Preparatory School. Despite the challenging weather
conditions with a severe heatwave in the region, Sabalenka is dedicated to her
training and posted some pictures on her social media, showcasing the tough
conditions she is enduring in the North American city.
"Help
us," Sabalenka wrote on Instagram.
"Every
day routine," the Belarusian captioned her Instagram post.
In 2023,
Aryna Sabalenka has earned more ranking points than any other female tennis
player in the world. She currently leads the WTA Race to the Finals with a
500-point advantage over Swiatek.
With three
titles this year, she triumphed at the Adelaide International Open, Madrid
Open, and secured her first Grand Slam victory at the Australian Open.
Additionally, she reached the final at Indian Wells, the semifinals at the
French Open and Wimbledon, and the quarterfinals at the Stuttgart Open.
Notably,
Sabalenka boasts an impressive 17-2 record in Grand Slam tournaments this
season.
In the
coming weeks, Sabalenka will compete at the US Open, where she is defending 720
points after reaching the semifinals last year and losing to Iga Swiatek. The
world No. 1, who holds the title, will be defending 2000 points, making the top
spot in the rankings up for grabs.
Before the
US Open, Sabalenka will participate in the Canadian Open, where she reached the
round of 16 in 2022 but was defeated by Coco Gauff.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- 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
