Watch out, Paula Badosa: Aryna Sabalenka is coming for your modeling gig!

The reigning Australian Open champion traded her tennis skirts for some serious couture as she teased a high-fashion photo shoot across Miami’s Design District, close to her training base.

“Something from another life,” captioned Sabalenka, who showed off several looks in a montage set to GoGo Morrow’s “Don’t Stop.”

Sabalenka has indeed been relentless through a blistering start to the 2023 season, one that featured an unbeaten run of 13 straight wins and her first Grand Slam title in Melbourne.

Bringing the momentum back for the Sunshine Swing, she posted career-best results in Indian Wells and Miami, reaching the finals and the quarterfinals, respectively.

The strong start puts her in the rare position to challenge Iga Swiatek for the No. 1 ranking; the 24-year-old trails Swiatek by just over 2000 points with the Pole having plenty to defend through the clay-court swing.

“I have such a strong belief in myself that in some ways, things are feeling easy,” she mused in Miami. “At the same time, there’s nothing easy on court and if you think, ‘I’ve got this,’ you’re never going to win.”

Sabalenka would have been hard-pressed to imagine herself in this position 12 months ago; the world No. 2 was struggling to string matches together as her serve had all but abandoned her through the first half of the 2022 season.

“I think last year was even better practice for me to stay motivated no matter what!”

Having famously reworked her motion with the help of a biomechanic expert, Sabalenka is now able to serve, both on court and sartorially speaking.
