Aryna Sabalenka Celebrates Australian Open Win with On-Court Dance

The world number one entertained fans at Rod Laver Arena after defeating Sloane Stephens in straight sets to begin her title defense.

Aryna Sabalenka defeated Sloane Stephens 6-3, 6-2 in the first round of the Australian Open, extending her tournament winning streak to 15 matches.
Following her victory, Sabalenka joined on-court interviewer Jelena Dokic in performing a TikTok-inspired dance, engaging the crowd at Rod Laver Arena.
Australian actress Rebel Wilson and entrepreneur Georgios Frangulis were seen cheering and dancing along in the stands during the post-match celebration.
Sabalenka humorously referred to herself as the 'worst dancer' but embraced the moment as part of her growing tradition of lighthearted celebrations at the tournament.
The defending champion, aiming for a third consecutive Australian Open title, will face Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the second round on January 15.
