In a recent interview, Aryna Sabalenka revealed a secret that left fans stunned — she had been competing with a lingering injury for several months.
“I didn’t want to make excuses,” she admitted. “I thought I could push through it, but it definitely affected my performance.” She explained that the injury required constant treatment and careful management just to get through matches.
The revelation sparked a wave of admiration for her resilience — but also concern about the toll it might have taken on her body. Fans flooded her social media with messages urging her to prioritize recovery.
Sabalenka’s decision to keep the injury private was both praised and criticized. Some saw it as a testament to her mental toughness. Others felt transparency might have spared her unnecessary criticism during that period.
Either way, her confession adds a new layer to her already intense on-court persona — the kind of grit that refuses to back down, even when the odds are stacked against her.
