Honored Russian coach Viktor Yanchuk told that the Belarusian tennis player Arina Sabalenko I could have achieved much more success if I had psychological stability.
On Friday, Sabalenka defeated Russian Daria Kasatkina in the quarterfinals of the WTA 500 tournament in Brisbane, Australia (6:1, 6:4).
— Sabalenka could have won 5 to 6 Grand Slam tournaments if she had been mentally stable enough. In the sense of the game, she has enough strength for three, but her shots are worse, because in tense moments she makes quite simple mistakes and misses her shots. Arina lacks the necessary reliability in crucial moments.
Now it’s a little better, and that’s why there have been significant victories. Time, in this sense, worked for her, she began to play more calmly, carefully and coolly, although she still has those worries and breakdowns that often affect the game.
When it comes to Sabalenka’s chances of winning, it’s a lottery. There is no certainty that she will win, even if she has more potential than her rivals. Arina is very good physically, she has impressive speed and punching power,” Yanchuk told .
Sabalenka is the second racket in the world. She has a singles title to her name at the 2023 Australian Open and two Grand Slam victories in doubles.
