Main Milestones
Birth in Minsk, Belarus
May 5, 1998
Aryna Sabalenka was born in Minsk, Belarus, to Sergey Sabalenka, a hockey player, and Yulia Sabalenka. Her early life was shaped by a strong family environment and the athletic influence of her father, fostering her competitive spirit from a young age. It was by a bit of chance that she stumbled into tennis, as her dad spotted tennis courts while driving one day and decided she should try it.
Turning Professional
2012
Sabalenka began her professional tennis career in 2012, playing primarily on the ITF circuit. These early years were crucial for her development, providing her with invaluable experience and exposure to the competitive world of professional tennis. She started honing her aggressive style and working her way up the rankings.
Breakthrough Season
2017
2017 marked a significant breakthrough for Sabalenka. She reached her first WTA final at the Tianjin Open, demonstrating her potential to compete at the highest level. This performance propelled her into the top 100, solidifying her presence on the WTA tour.
First WTA Titles
2018
Sabalenka captured her first two WTA titles in 2018, winning the New Haven Open and the Wuhan Open. The Wuhan Open victory was particularly notable, as it was a Premier 5 event, showcasing her ability to compete against and defeat top-ranked players and demonstrating that she could win at the most prestigious tournaments outside of the Grand Slams.
WTA Doubles Title and Top 10 Debut
2019
In 2019, Sabalenka reached the World No. 9 in the WTA rankings after winning the WTA Elite Trophy in China, marking her top 10 debut.

2021 saw Sabalenka continue her strong performance, securing her first two WTA 1000 titles in Abu Dhabi and Madrid. Her continued consistency and aggressive play style helped her retain her spot at the top of the women's game, but still fell short of her ultimate goal - a singles Grand Slam.
Australian Open Champion
