(VIDEO) Aryna Sabalenka hilariously says Novak Djokovic wiggling butt is a 'beautiful view' as Maria Sakkari chimes in
WTA
The current
champions of the 2024 Australian Open, Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka, took
part in a charity mixed doubles activity at the Rod Laver Arena, creating a fun
moment as they prepared for Sabalenka's serve.
Their
opponents were the Greeks Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari, in an
entertaining match where the players had microphones to provide live commentary
while playing. During Sabalenka's serve, Djokovic asked her to pay close
attention to the gestures he was making, alluding to the type of play they
would execute.

However,
the WTA world No. 2 didn't quite understand the message. So, Djokovic started
moving his backside at the net, creating a humorous moment where Sabalenka
joked about the "beautiful view," and their opponent Sakkari also
chimed in with a comment, mentioning that Sabalenka's boyfriend, Konstantin
Kolstov, might not be pleased with the situation.
DJOKOVIC:
I'm gonna show you a couple of signals, you know? *Gestures with his fingers at
the net*
SABALENKA:
Can people help me understand what he's showing? Wow, what a beautiful view I
have! *as Djokovic wiggles his butt at the net*
SAKKARI:
I'm sure your boyfriend won't be happy with that!
SABALENKA:
I hope he's not gonna watch it!

Sabalenka aims to defend the title
In her
first tournament of the year, Sabalenka reached the final of the Brisbane
International, delivering several dominant performances along the way, losing
only 15 games in four matches. However, she faced Elena Rybakina in the final,
a rematch of the 2023 Aussie Open final. This time, the Kazakhstani player
secured the title with a convincing 6-0, 6-3 victory.
The current
world No. 2 must put aside the adverse result and focus on defending her title
in Melbourne. Sabalenka relinquished the No. 1 ranking at the end of the year
to Swiatek. With the 2000 points from the Australian Open to defend, even if
she successfully retains the title, Sabalenka won't be able to add points in
the first Grand Slam of the year. This situation provides Swiatek with a good
opportunity to extend her lead over Sabalenka, who needs a strong performance
to keep pace with the Polish player.

- 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" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- 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 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
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 - Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
