Belarussian tennis star Aryna Sabalenka has shared a video of her physical trainer in a mock fight with Serbian superstar Novak Djokovic.

In the short video of the fun bout that is trending on Twitter, Sabalenka’s trainer, Jason Stacy, is seen bowing to Djokovic as boxers do before throwing mock punches at him.

The Belarussian, who currently sits seventh in the WTA singles rankings, could be heard laughing away in the background.

The fight takes a hilarious turn as the 17-time Grand Slam champion fists his way to Jason’s tummy before lifting him off his feet. The video, shot by Sabalenka herself, is aptly titled “Behind the scenes.”

While Djokovic is bidding for an unprecedented ninth Australian Open title this year, Sabalenka will go to battle in the quest of her maiden Grand Slam championship victory. The Belarussian, who suffered a shattering personal loss with the passing of her father last year, will go into the Australian Open on the back of winning the Abu Dhabi WTA.

Aryna Sabalenka will go into the Australian Open on the back of three back-to-back WTA titles

It was her third straight title on the women’s Tour from last year, pointing to her blazing run of form at the minute. Her win at the Abu Dhabi event was preceded by Tour championship victories at Ostrava and Linz.

With her unbeaten run in the Emirates, the 22-year-old Sabalenka extended her winning streak to 15 matches. She dropped just one set on the way to winning the Abu Dhabi title, which was also the ninth of her career.

Given her run of form, Sabalenka will fancy her chances of opening her Grand Slam account this year and will be counted among the title favorites at the Australian Open.

Sabalenka recently revealed that hiring Dubrov, her former sparring partner, as her full-time coach has had a positive impact on her tennis.
