"I feel ready to go," Sabalenka discusses her physical condition in Wuhan

Aryna Sabalenka had decided to skip the Beijing tournament to focus on her recovery. In comments relayed by France 24, she spoke about her physical condition and her goals for the end of this 2025 season.

She stated: "I feel good. I simply didn't want to rush my body into the tournament, so I think we made the right decision to take extra time for recovery and preparation, and now, physically, I feel ready to go.

I would say my season has been quite successful. The goal is to remain the same, to improve every day, to maintain my position as world number one, to see how far I can go in this sport and how far I can go."

Sabalenka has a first-round bye and will face Anna Kalinskaya or Rebecca Sramkova in her opening match.
