The Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, 26 years old and world No. 3, Wimbledon never fails to smile. Training with his Tunisian friend Ounce Jabeur in the center court, and immortalize it with a selfie that looks like everything is happiness. This coincides with the current men’s champion, Carlos Alcarazand it’s all pretty face, kidding.
Sabalenka prefers to show her best side, although she will have reasons to show concern. A few weeks ago, he was a victim of a stomach ache at Roland Garros, and he lost in the quarterfinals with the young Russian. Mirra Andreeva. “It was a tough experience. It took me five days to fully recover. I had to take a lot of medicine to heal my stomach.”
The double Australian Open champion wants to add another Grand Slam title at Wimbledon, where he is a semifinalist in 2021 and 2023, but his future at the All England Club in London is uncertain.
She withdrew from one of the previous grass-court preparatory tournaments, the WTA in Berlin, because “I’m not one hundred percent, although I’m doing everything possible with my team to play my first match at Wimbledon,” he said, surprising everyone at the event. One of the important names may be erased from it before it even begins.
Sabalenka does not guarantee her presence on the court to face the American Emina Bektas, due to physical problems. “There is some option that he is on the track,” he simply noted.
She confessed that “It’s been frustrating, in the last month I’ve been suffering from different types of pain. I try to be positive, but it’s always in my head and it’s hard for me to deal with it.”
He explained his biggest problem, a shoulder injury. “A really very specific injury. It’s very rare, possibly the second or third tennis player to suffer an injury to this muscle (the roundus major).”
And that causes confusion, because “I can do many things. I can train, I can reach the baseline, but I suffer when I serve. It gives you the feeling that you don’t have any damage, but the pain appears when I serve.. We do an MRI, anything, a lot of rehabilitation, but if I have to serve, it hurts.
It is doubtful for Wimbledon, “but I keep my hope to play. Someone who has been struggling with so many different illnesses in recent months has hope,” he said. Aryna Sabalenkawho in March experienced an episode in Miami of his ex-partner’s suicide, Konstantin Koltsov.
