Coach of the second racket in the world Arina Sabalenko Anton Dubrov believes that his athlete did a good job of making short shots, but cannot yet compare in skill with the Swiss tennis player. Roger Federer .
On Saturday, Sabalenka reached the third round of the WTA 1000 tournament in Beijing.
“Before, she knew how to take risks.” If these are shortcuts, we added them at the end of March, at the start of the land preparation. They just added a little more volume: the more volume you make, the more you can get. You start to fumble and hit the first bumps. This is a process that has not yet taken root. She does it a lot more now, which is cool. If she manages to combine this with all her power, she will make life difficult for everyone.
Even playing that US Open third round match with Katya Alexandrova, she played many moments through cuts on defense. She allowed herself to come back and forced Katya to take another shot from a low, difficult shot. Yes, Alexandrova played something and scored. But when you realize that you seem to have played well, but you could get another reduction, then you start to think about it. It’s a question of pressure.
We now understand when she can use them and how she can control them: she can play a line, cross, and where to throw it short. This level is good, but not Roger,” Dubrov said at the Championship.
Sabalenka, 26, is ranked second in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings. She is the owner of 16 singles titles, 3 of which the athlete won this season. The Belarusian has won the Grand Slam singles tournaments three times: the Australian Open (2023, 2024) and the US Open (2024).
