Aryna Sabalenka makes brutally honest admission about whether she has faced 'betrayals' in life

Aryna Sabalenka recently made some candid revelations about her life. She opened up about whether she has faced any 'betrayals' in her life.

After wrapping up her successful 2024 season at the WTA Finals, where she made it to the semifinals before being defeated by Coco Gauff, Sabalenka represented Team Hawks at the 2024 World Tennis League in Abu Dhabi, alongside players like Mirra Andreeva, Sumit Nagal, and Jordan Thompson.

Sabalenka is currently in Australia to start her 2025 season at the Brisbane International. Ahead of her campaign at the WTA 500 event, she sat down for an interview where she was asked a very personal question.

The World No.1 was questioned if she has faced any betrayals in her life. In response, the Belarusian shared that she has indeed faced multiple betrayals in her life.

“Have you had many betrayals in your life?" the interviewer asked.

“Yes, and a lot," Sabalenka replied.

Aryna Sabalenka had an exceptional 2024 season, clinching four titles, including two Grand Slam victories and two WTA 1000 titles. She started the year by successfully defending her Australian Open title by defeting Zheng Qinwen in the final.

Later in the season, during the North American hard court swing, the World No.1 triumphed at the Cincinnati Open and the US Open, defeating Jessica Pegula in both finals.

Sabalenka's last title of the season came at the Wuhan Open where she was the two-time defending champion. She emerged victorious in the WTA 1000 tournament by once again defeating Qinwen in the final.
