With just days ahead of Wimbledon 2023, all the tennis players who are a part of the tournament have already reached the court in London and started having practice sessions with one another. The official page of Wimbledon often shares fun posts of tennis stars playing against each other before the actual tournament begins on the grass court.
Even the athletes themselves continue to entertain their fans by posting several pictures of them playing on the court and with one another. Recently Aryna Sabalenka, the Belarusian tennis player, posted a photo of herself and of the French Open 2023 winner Novak Djokovic. Along with that, she also wrote a caption that was funny and witty at the same time.

Aryna is quite active on social media. She has been very vocal about her journey so far and shares all her ups and downs with her fans. Days before the Wimbledon begins, she posted a photo with the ATP world no. 1, Novak Djokovic. But it was not the photo that caught everyone’s attention. It was the caption that was under the photo.

Along with the post, she added, “24 Grand Slams in one pic.” Her caption indicates that if you add her and Novak’s total of Grand Slam titles, the total will come to 24. However, that is not the best part of the wholesome post. After the Grand Slam caption, she also added, “Guess how many of them are mine?”.
Her intention with the post was to make her fans giggle about the fact that Novak has 23 Grand Slam titles to his name and, on the other hand, as of now, she only has one.

In the year 2022, Wimbledon organizers banned all Belarusian and Russian players from the tournament. This was done because of the war situation between Ukraine and Russia. Even though the ATP and the WTA tried really hard not to let the war interfere with sports, the All England Club didn’t change their decision.

However, things seem to be better now for the Belarusian no.1, as the organizers have removed this ban. And now the Russian and Belarusian players will be playing in the tournament. This is why Aryna Sabalenka is on the grass court practicing with other tennis players. Her fans will be hoping she adds another Grand Slam to her name this year.
