Belarus, as a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, has a population of only about 10 million, and many fans know this country from a tennis player - Victoria Azarenka.
As the country's first Grand Slam singles champion, Azarenka was arguably at the peak of her career, and she was one of the few players to compete with Serena.
However, with the sudden pregnancy and childbirth and the subsequent upbringing, it is difficult for us to see Azarenka's previous highlights in recent seasons.
After her, Sabalenka is undoubtedly another supernova emerging in Belarus, born on May 5, 1998, just yesterday for her 22nd birthday.
There is no doubt that Sabalenka, who is 1.82 meters tall, has a very good figure and strength, and she has always been the dominant side of the game on the pitch.
Fierce shouts, ferocious attacks, the young Belarusian once reached the highest world ranking, once reached 9th place, and is now also at 11th place.
As early as the 2018 season in New Haven, Sabalenka won the first title of his career by beating the former TOP10 player Navarro 2-0, which is a top-level championship.
In recent years, China's tennis market is expanding, more tennis tournaments have come to China to hold, and Sabalenka has been called "China's daughter" by fans for its outstanding performance in the Chinese season.
Taking the singles title as an example, as many as 4 of the 5 titles currently won by Sabalenka are held in China.
These include the Wuhan Tennis Open in the 2018 and 2019 seasons, the Shenzhen Tournament in the 2019 season, and the Zhuhai Minor Year-end in the 2019 season.
It is worth mentioning that compared to other players who have excelled in singles who specialize in singles, the young Sabalenka also has a good performance in the doubles field, and her doubles world ranking once came to second place.
Her combination with Mertens has won three major titles including the 2019 US Open, 2019 Indian Wells and 2019 Miami.
Of course, in order to achieve further breakthroughs in the field of singles, the Belarusian obviously has to work the grand slam stage, and her current best record in the four grand slam singles matches is only the fourth round of the 2018 US Open.
Most of the rest of the time she was out early in the first three rounds, and for this result, being a top 10 player is obviously not satisfactory enough.
Entering the season, Sabalenka has had a greater ups and downs, with she losing to Navarro in the first round of her first Grand Slam at the beginning of the year.
However, in the previous Doha station, he won the championship with consecutive victories against good players including Kuznetsova and Kvitova.
In the future, we look forward to this girl in her early twenties bringing us more excitement! (Source: House of Tennis Author: Barbie)
