Aryna Sabalenka's team members have uncovered some amusing inside details about her. This happened after the Belarusian invited her fans on the internet to send some questions to her team.

Sabalenka is in Australia for the 2025 Brisbane International, which begins on December 29. She leads the entry lists and is set to enter the main draw as the top seed.

Ahead of the event, the World No. 1 decided to host a Q&A session with her Instagram followers. She prompted them to query her teammates directly, including coach Anton Dubrov and hitting partner Andrei Vasilevski.

"One thing you love about Aryna and one thing you tolerate about her," one asked.

Dubrov responded:

"The best work discipline"
"Tik Tok participation"

Another fan posted:

"How do you stay so calm during Aryna's matches?"

Vasilevski, a former doubles World No. 52, replied:

"Chamomile tea, Ashwagandha, A lot of alcohol"

Aryna Sabalenka grabbed the 2024 WTA Player of the Year award for her stellar performances in the season, outdoing Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Jasmine Paolini, and Zheng Qinwen. This is the first time she has received the honor.

The 26-year-old got off to a flying start as she claimed the Australian Open championship in January this year, overcoming China's Zheng in the final. Months later in August, she defeated local Jessica Pegula in the title clash of the Cincinnati Open.

The World No. 1 bettered Pegula again a couple of weeks later to triumph at the US Open in September. She then took home her final trophy of the season by downing Zheng in the Wuhan Open final.

Sabalenka also overtook Poland's Iga Swiatek in the WTA rankings to become the World No. 1 for the second time in her career. She has spent 18 weeks in the pole position.
