Sabalenka brings AO fans on whirlwind Instagram takeover

Published Jan 28, 2021

Aryna Sabalenka has been the talk of the tour since last fall, winning her last three tournaments and extended her winning streak to 15 straight after winning the title in Abu Dhabi.

Who better than the Belarusian, then, to take over the Tennis Channel Instagram and give fans a behind-the-scenes look at her preparation for the Australian Open summer swing?

Starting with a comprehensive tour of her hotel room, Sabalenka next heads to Melbourne Park after a now-standard COVID-19 test, and shows off some of the intense warm-ups that have helped her reach new heights on the court.

Broadcasting from the newly-renamed John Cain Arena (formerly Melbourne Arena), she gets some virtual assistance from fitness coach Jason Stacy, who later leads the world No. 7 through another workout once at the hotel.

To finish the day, Sabalenka presents an impressive Bag Check, complete with the masks and sanitizers now necessary to keep players safe during the pandemic.

Check out the complete takeover on the official Tennis Channel Instagram.
