The Womenâ€™s Tennis Association (WTA) formerly ranked her as world number one in both singles and doubles. Sabalenka has won two major singles titles, the 2023 and 2024 Australian Opens, and two major doubles titles, the 2019 US Open and the 2021 Australian Open, both with Elise Mertens. She has 20 career titles in total, including 14 in singles and six in doubles. She was famously introduced to tennis by coincidence. Sabalenka eventually decided to pursue it professionally. She has been training at the National Tennis Academy in Minsk, Belarus since it opened in 2014. Sabalenka currently trains with her coach, Anton Dubrov. Dubrov is a tennis instructor and former player from Belarus. Heâ€™s been Aryna Sabalenkaâ€™s coach since 2020.

Her father, Sergey, who died in 2019, was an ice hockey player. Sabalenka began playing tennis by happenstance. She explained, â€œOne day, my dad was just driving me somewhere in the car, and on the way he saw tennis courts. So he took me to the courts. I really liked it and enjoyed it and thatâ€™s how it was. Thatâ€™s how it started.â€ Tennis &#8211; Australian Open &#8211; Melbourne Park, Melbourne, Australia &#8211; January 24, 2022 Belarus&#8217; Aryna Sabalenka walks off court after losing her fourth round match against Estonia&#8217;s Kaia Kanepi REUTERS/Asanka Brendon Ratnayake She started training at the National Tennis Academy in Minsk when it launched in 2014. In 2015, the Belarusian Tennis Federation convinced Sabalenka and her team to focus on low-level professional events rather than junior competitions, despite the fact that she was still qualified to compete at the junior level. Aryna Sabalenkaâ€™s parents Sergey Sabalenka and Yuliya Sabalenka raised the two siblings in the nationâ€™s capital. Unfortunately, Aryna&#8217;s father died in 2019 at the age of 44. Sergey was a former hockey goalkeeper who introduced her to tennis. He played professionally for a variety of teams throughout his career. Although Aryna was initially inspired by her fatherâ€™s engagement in ice hockey, she later discovered her true passion in tennis.

She also has a close relationship with her mother, Yulia.Â  Aryna Sabalenkaâ€™s net worth 2024 Sabalenka, who has found the nickname &#8216;The Tiger,&#8217; has racked up quite a list of titles since she became an active player in 2012. With 19 titles in her hand, she has career winnings amounting to a whopping $20,512,563 million during her time on the court. Her net worth is currently estimated to be $20 million.Â  Aryna Sabalenkaâ€™s career timeline Sabalenka got a late start on the ITF Junior Circuit, competing in the U14 and U16 Tennis Europe tournaments at a young age. She did not compete in the main draw of any ITF events until 2013 when she was 15 years old and played in the low-level Grade-4 Tallink Cup in Estonia. She never competed in the junior Grand Slam tournaments or any other high-level Grade-A and Grade-1 competitions. The Belarusian beauty won her maiden professional match in Istanbul at the end of 2014. The following season, in October, she won her first two titles in Antalya, both at $10,000. Sabalenka eventually played at the senior WTA Tour in 2016 and ended the year ranked 158. She would double her efforts and win her first Masters title in 2018, which helped launch her rank to 11. She jumped to rank 9 in February 2019 and would continue to go up and down the ranks and go on to end the year ranked 11 once again. In 2020, Sabalenka would win her first Qatar Open and end the year ranked 10. The Belarusian beauty would have her best year in 2021 as she would manage to break into the top 5. Two semifinals in grand slams and one Masters title would help her end the year at rank 2. She fell slightly in 2022 as she did not manage to win any major titles. Her ranking also fell, and she ended 2022 ranked 5. 2023 would be an even better year for her. She won her first Grand Slam as the year kicked off.
