In a recent feature for Harper’s Bazaar Australia, tennis stars Aryna Sabalenka and Anna Kalinskaya engaged in a candid conversation about their personal styles. When Kalinskaya described her style as “classic,” Sabalenka playfully interjected, labeling it as “classic, sexy, beautiful, stunning.” Kalinskaya modestly disagreed with the “sexy” descriptor, but Sabalenka elaborated, praising Kalinskaya’s confidence and fashion choices.
Sabalenka also graced the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Australia’s January issue, where she discussed her aspirations beyond tennis. She expressed a desire to inspire resilience in others, stating, “My dream is to inspire people, to be a fighter and to be an example of not giving up and going through whatever life throws at me.” Reflecting on her journey, she acknowledged the sacrifices and hard work required to reach her current position.
Kicking off her 2025 season, Sabalenka clinched her 18th career title at the Brisbane International. She triumphed over qualifier Polina Kudermetova in a three-set final, showcasing her determination and skill. This victory adds to her impressive record on Australian soil, where she has previously secured titles in Adelaide and Melbourne.
Looking ahead, Sabalenka is set to defend her title at the Australian Open, aiming for a third consecutive win—a feat not achieved in nearly three decades. Her recent performances position her as a formidable contender in the tournament.
