Sabalenka: “I proved that I can play on any surface”

As usual, my speech will be strange. It’s not my superpower, but I’ll try. Team! Wow! Guys, I stressed you out a bit after the final in Brisbane. I did a little better in this final. Thank you for always being by my side, no matter what. Without you, I would not have been able to achieve so much in this sport. Thank you very much for everything you do for me. But without me, you wouldn’t be so good either! Accept this fact (smiles).

I’ve never mentioned family in victory speeches before, but I really owe them a huge thank you for everything they’ve done for me. Should I continue in English, they won’t understand? Okay, I hope they transfer it (laughs). I love you very much, you are my main motivation. Everything I do, I do it for you. I love you and miss you very much. Thanks guys!

Thank you to the fans for this support, I love playing in front of you. You make this place special. I love you very much and I can’t wait to come back here.

The main thing in our job is to have fun and enjoy the process. My team and I are constantly doing all sorts of crazy things (smiles). It helps me stay focused on the field. There’s enough pressure on the field already, so off the field we try to keep things simple, have fun and make sure everyone enjoys the process.

It’s good that I’m different on and off the field. If it were the same, I wouldn’t have such a team. I think I would be alone (smile). It took me a long time to become what I am today on the field, to control myself, to understand myself better. It’s been a long journey. She said that like I was going to give up after today’s match (laughs). But no, I think it’s too early for that. I can still do something,” Sabalenka said at a press conference.
