Sabalenka and her coach's honest confessions: "I once pretended to be tired to go shopping".

Aryna Sabalenka and her coach Anton Dubrov lent themselves to the game of confessions in a video posted by the Brisbane tournament.

The revelations between the player and her coach were quite amusing:

Sabalenka: "Once, I wasn't really tired, but I pretended to be very tired. I did it to go shopping. That happened once."

Dubrov: "When you're on the court and yelling at us, we want to say something back. But we don't."

Sabalenka: "As you know, I try to stay fit and eat healthy. But at the same time, my team is putting on more and more weight. And that annoys me a lot."

Dubrov: "One week, when we were training and you were frustrated on the court, I called in sick and skipped a practice."

The world No.1 will kick off her 2025 season in Brisbane against Renata Zarazua.
