1. Tennis Dreams

Sabalenka always knew she wanted to be the best. “I really only started thinking I might become a professional when I was 15 or 16, when I started playing small tournaments,” she told Vogue. “But when I was a kid, I just really liked to compete—I liked to be the best in the practice. I don’t know—I guess it’s just the way I was made.”

2. Partnership With OAKBERRY

Sabalenka recently partnered with OAKBERRY to create her own açaí bowl. "It's the perfect partnership for me,” she told Sports Illustrated. “I've always taken care of how I feed my body, and I'm crazy about sweets. For me, this is a healthy snack, and it's like a whole meal because you can put everything you need in that bowl. It's really cool and a perfect fit because it's healthy and gives you a lot of energy. It's important for me to have a partnership where I can come up with my own signature stuff. This bowl is full of stuff I really like, and the design is beautiful, and the name is awesome. It's something I'm really excited."

3. Shoulder Recovery

Sabalenka is well on her way to recovery after injuring her shoulder. "Finally, I'm really happy to say that this injury is behind already and is in the past,” she told Sports Illustrated. “I would definitely say that the first two tournaments after the injury, I was kind of struggling with the fear of getting injured again. But I don't know; something just clicked in Cincinnati, and I'm really happy about that. I kind of just let it go. Now, I feel protected and safe with the shoulder. I'm super happy that it's in the past. But now it's part of my routine to keep doing all the rehab exercises to make sure my shoulder is strong."

4. Building a Brand

Sabalenka is learning how to build for success off the court as well as on. “It’s about building a brand, making smart decisions and planning for the future,” she told Forbes. “As I gained more experience and started seeing the bigger picture, I knew I needed to be involved in decisions that would impact my long-term success, both on and off the court.”

5. Team Spirit

Sabalenka is grateful to her team for the constant support and guidance. “I would call them my family,” she told The New York Times. “They’ve been there for me no matter what. I had so many tough life situations, and they were there for me, supporting me and doing everything for me. I’m trying to pay them back the same way. I’m always there for them. Whatever they need, I’m happy to help them.”

1. Mind Over Matter

Sabalenka has learned to focus on playing her best, no matter how she feels. “I’ve been really aggressive on court since a very young age,” she says. “And sometimes when you’re not feeling your best, someone from outside could watch your match thinking, like, Oh, my gosh—she’s crushing it, she’s playing amazing, but you’re feeling like, No—the ball is not going the right direction. When you’re just not feeling your best, this thing can just destroy you inside, and you’ll start going crazy, missing a lot for no reason. So it’s really important just to do your job and not care about the feelings—to learn how to play your best when you’re not feeling your best. If the ball is going in, it’s okay for today.”

4. Balanced Lifestyle

Sabalenka is adamant about living a balanced life. “In the days after I’ve finished a tournament, you definitely need that time to relax,” she says. “Of course, that’s the perfect time to go for dinner and either finish with a drink or have some with dinner. That can create such a fun, amazing atmosphere. I think it’s really important to have that good balance where you’re professional, working hard, but also where you can have those days where you completely forget about the tennis life, switch off, and do something to chill and enjoy.”

5. Steak and Tequila

Sabalenka allows herself to relax with tequila and steak. “It depends on the mood—if I’m not in a good mood, I’ll just go for a shot,” she says. “If I’m in a good mood and just want to enjoy my night, I’ll go for a margarita. I’m pretty good at controlling myself—I’m stopping myself after a couple of shots—but I do like tequila, especially a good one. To the vegetarians who are going to read this, I’m so sorry—but I really love eating steaks.”

Victoria Azarenka, a world-class tennis player, is always preparing for her next big match, and she recently shared a glimpse of her routine on Instagram.

Here’s how she stays in top shape.

1. She Plays Tennis

Tennis is one of the ways that Azarenka stays in shape. The sport has a lot of health benefits. The Columbia Association states, “Tennis is an ace for stress relief too, which boosts your mood and keeps your heart healthy. And we can’t skimp over the warm and fuzzy traits it instills, like discipline, patience and teamwork, all in a healthy social outlet. A study done at Southern Connecticut State University even found that tennis players scored higher in vigor, optimism and self-esteem and lower in depression, anger, confusion, anxiety and tension than other athletes and non-athletes.”

2. She’s Disciplined

Azarenka talked about her training secrets in an interview with Elite Daily. She says that having the right mindset is important. Azarenka also says that she is very disciplined, and that has helped with her career. “I think it depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to be a champion, then I think something you have to really work at is work ethic [because] it is fundamental to bringing all the other aspects together.”

3. She Focuses On Injury Prevention

Being a professional athlete means that Azarenka has to be concerned about potential injuries. She tells Elite Daily that she did a lot of research to see what she can improve on. “For me it was a lot of educating myself to just understand, first of all, how the body works so I knew what to do. I'm constantly reading and learning injury prevention. Basically, injury prevention is discipline. It was also a lot about mindset, 'cause I hate doing it -- like, I absolutely hate stretching. But once I started to understand it a little bit more, it became fun for me.”

4. She Strength Trains

Azarenka shared some of her favorite workouts with Elite Daily. She says that strength training is a big part of her routine. “I do power exercises like medicine ball throws and I recently, like a year ago, started doing olympic weightlifting. because it's the most complex movement with the most explosiveness and power in it to help you extend faster and get to the first step faster.”

5. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Azarenka shared some more of her favorite workouts with Elite Daily. She does a lot of different things to keep herself in shape. “I love dancing. I just went to a dance class in New York. It's called Ratchet Zumba. I knew about Zumba, but I didn't know about Ratchet Zumba... Making your body think and learn different movements always helps you with coordination and flexibility. I love playing basketball, I love swimming, I do paddle-boarding. I do a lot.”
