In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Aryna Sabalenka revealed she thought about retiring in 2022 due to struggles with her serve.

I told myself that maybe it was a sign to give up, to stop playing tennis and move on to something else. But that became a turning point for me. I persevered, worked even harder, and mentally, I found myself.
I succeeded by trying over and over again. I talked a lot with my team and brought in new people. It’s so important to be surrounded by the right people, especially in those moments. It’s all about support.
