“Fashion is something I’m really crazy about; really hope that one day I’ll have my own line,” said Aryna Sabalenka ahead of the WTA Finals last year. Turns out the Belarusian player isn’t just about power-packed serves and crushing forehands—she’s got a serious fashion game too. Did you know she takes inspiration from Maria Sharapova? The Russian WTA legend made waves both on and off the court with her fashion choices. Now, Sabalenka is looking to do the same.

Recently, Sabalenka shared a playful reaction to a video that highlighted her stylish side. The montage featured a mix of her on-court moments and her dazzling Oscar party look. She wore a brown crocheted Amiri gown and styled it by draping an Amiri jacket on her shoulders. Minimal jewelry, a clutch, and sunglasses completed her look. The title of the video was a sarcastic remark that read, “Tennis players don’t belong in fashion… They don’t know a thing about modeling.” The World number 1 was pretty impressed with the video as she shared it on her Instagram story with a cheeky caption, “Yeah, we’ve got some skills 😜.”

Her boyfriend also got in on the fun, backing her by commenting, “I did know that” on the post. But while Sabalenka was feeling herself in that look, not all tennis fans were impressed. Some thought the brown Amiri crocheted gown she wore to the Vanity Fair Oscar party made her look “pregnant.”

However, that wasn’t her only standout look. The world’s number 1 has been making stylish off-court appearances left and right. At the WTA relaunch party, she rocked a black mini dress with a matching leather jacket. For her watch sponsor, Audemars Piguet’s 150-year celebration, she suited up in a sleek gray pencil suit, complete with a black tie and heels. And on the court? Her Nike Barbiecore pink dress at the 2024 US Open was a massive hit. She even had a sweet moment with a young fan who showed up in a matching outfit.

Talking about being on the court, the 2025 season has not unfolded in the best way for Sabalenka. After her loss at the Australian Open final, she experienced a dip in her form. And finally, the 26-year-old tennis star is opening up about that heartbreak. What did she say?

Aryna Sabalenka talks about how she ‘moved on’ from Australian Open heartbreak

Aryna Sabalenka looked like she was on her way to making history at the Australian Open. She was chasing a three-peat at Melbourne Park, something that was last achieved by Martina Hingis in 1999. But Madison Keys had other plans. In a nail-biting final, Keys edged her out 6-3, 2-6, 7-5.

It wasn’t just any loss for the Belarusian powerhouse—it hurt. Moments after the match, she smashed her racket in frustration, covered her head with a towel, and left the court before the trophy ceremony. Since then, things haven’t gone great. She played two tournaments—Doha and Dubai—and managed just one win in three matches.

Now, she’s at Indian Wells, looking for a fresh start. And ahead of the tournament, she finally opened up about how tough that Australian Open loss was. “I had some tough losses in the past, but that one was tough to accept, to be honest. It took me, like, a week and maybe a little bit longer than that to stop thinking and to finally move on,” she admitted. But she’s not dwelling on it anymore. “I’d say that lesson learned, and it’s in the past. It’s always—not always actually—but it’s good to have these tough losses because next time you’re going to do much better.”

Sabalenka has a first-round bye at Indian Wells and will kick off her campaign against either McCartney Kessler or Anna Blinkova in the second round. She’s ready to move forward. But will she find her winning form again?
