Aryna Sabalenka on picking songs for her and team's TikTok dances

Aryna Sabalenka spoke candidly about the fun moments she shares with her team when they are not working. She revealed that her coaching team loves dancing, hence dancing is their go-to way to enjoy their off time.

In an interview with Tennis.com, she revealed that she doesn't have to convince them to dance with her.

"They actually love to dance. They even gave me a certificate for five dances. Right, Andrei?" she said, turning to Vasilevski, her hitting partner.

However, she added that she is in charge of picking the songs and finds way to embarrass them sometimes.

"I get to choose any dance I want. I actually wanted them to do the chicken banana dance, but I didn't want to embarrass them too much. Now I'll think of another fun dance," she added.

On the tennis side of things, she was seen training with fellow World No. 1, Jannik Sinner to kick off her Wimbledon campaign. Sabalenka is going into Wimbledon with high hopes and a win-loss ratio of 28:17 on grass. Being a two-time semifinalist at the tournament, she is also a top contender for the title and is training to get another shot at a Grand Slam title this year.
