Sabalenka’s one-shot wonder: Phone takes a hit in hilarious training video
Aryna Sabalenka shared a funny video on social media, where she can be seen placing her phone on the court floor to record her training. However, the ball quickly hits the phone, causing the image to be lost. It was all about a quickly successful training session, as the world No. 1 explained in the video’s caption. “Wanted to see how many tries it would take me to hit the phone… turns out it’s one ,” she explained alongside a laughing emoji.
The three-time Grand Slam champion is preparing for her debut at the Berlin Ladies Open this Wednesday against Swiss qualifier Rebeka Masarova – who overcame Sofia Kenin in the first round. Sabalenka is playing her first tournament since her loss in the Roland Garros final to Coco Gauff and is trying to move past the defeat on the grass courts with an eye towards Wimbledon, the next Grand Slam to be held in two weeks.
