Aryna Sabalenka Eyes Historic Third Australian Open Title After Dominant 2024 Season

The World No. 1 reflects on her growth, prepares for the 2025 season, and downplays pressure ahead of a potential milestone.

Aryna Sabalenka is aiming to become the first woman since Martina Hingis in 1999 to win three consecutive Australian Open titles, a feat that has eluded players like Serena Williams.
Despite clinching two Grand Slam titles in 2024 and securing the World No. 1 ranking, Sabalenka acknowledges areas for improvement in her game, including net play and serve consistency.
The Belarusian emphasizes a step-by-step approach to the upcoming season, focusing on improving her skills rather than the pressure of breaking records.
Sabalenka has developed a more relaxed off-court relationship with rival Iga Swiatek, practicing together and sharing lighter moments, contrasting their intense on-court battles.
She will begin her 2025 campaign at the Brisbane International, using the tournament to fine-tune her game before defending her Australian Open title.
