French Open: Aryna Sabalenka Leaves No Stone Unturned to Alter Fate in Resumption of Goofy Ritual on Fitness Coach

Out of all the things that bring out the best in Aryna Sabalenka, the comfort she shares with her team is the most evident. Regardless of the fact that it’s a victory or defeat, the WTA star always appears to be cheerful whenever she turns her head towards the supportive team. On her journey of living the best moments of her life with the team, trolling her fitness coach Jason Stacy’s bald head seems to have become a tradition now.

Tennis fans had a big laugh when Aryna Sabalenka’s cheeky act with her team member started to trend on social media. The fitness coach, who has a shiny bald head, became the lucky charm of the Belarusian’s Australian Open win as she took a moment to tease him by signing the surface. Repeating the same act on her run for the French Open title, the tennis star recently shared an update, hilariously hoping for good luck.

In a recent post on X, Sabalenka’s fan page shared a picture of her team member Jason Stacy. Captured from the top of his head, the image depicted the WTA star’s signature on his bald forehead, reminding fans of a similar act that she performed during the 2024 AO, her second career Grand Slam win. Along with the post, the caption read, “Jason’s head!!! I hope it will bring good luck.”

This update started to trend on social media soon after the Belarusian kickstarted her French Open journey with a victory over Erika Andreeva. In the post-match conference, Sabalenka revealed that while her coach isn’t really happy with it, the superstition has stuck now. “We just keep the traditions going, you know. Like I did sign his head today,” Saba laughed. “Let’s see if it’s working or not. Hopefully, that’s the key, you know, but we’re going to keep tradition.”

The last time Sabalenka was seen performing this cheeky act, she walked out of the arena with the Australian Open trophy. As she repeats the same old spell one more time, the viability of it would be tested. While this was one way through which fans got to know about her friendship with the team member, her post-match speech at the Italian Open finals took a hilarious dig.

The crowd experienced disappointment as Aryna Sabalenka faced a defeat against Iga Swiatek in the finals of the Italian Open. While everyone expected that she would walk out of the court with her head down in sadness, the situation turned out to be the contrary as soon as she started to talk about her team.

After taking the center stage post-defeat, Sabalenka took a cheeky dig at her team. “Of course, last but not least, I wanna thank my team for helping me lose another final. That’s all your fault guys now,” she said, blaming them for the defeat in a funny way.

However, the tennis star was quick to cover it up by appreciating the members who backed her in the intense journey by revealing that it was meant to be a joke. As the bond between Sabalenka and her team blossoms, fans continue to admire not just her dominance but the comedy kicks as well.
