Aryna Sabalenka will make her return to tennis at the Dubai Championships and she doesn't think anything changed after she won her maiden grand slam in Melbourne.
The Belarussian proved better than everybody in Melbourne winning her first grand slam there. She hasn't played since then but will make a return in Dubai with the intention of winning it as well. There is more pressure on her now, being a grand slam winner but she doesn't think that many things changed.
I still have to work hard. I still have to prove every time on the court that I’m in the right place. Nothing changed much. It’s just really nice to achieve your goal but I still have to work, so nothing has changed much.
She's played in Dubai before but things are a bit different this year. The balls have changed and the court speed as well but she thinks it could actually benefit her.
This year is different because they changed the balls. The surface is new. It’s different than it was last year. Last year was super fast. The balls were flying. Right now I feel like I have more chances to do well in this tournament just because of these changes.
