Aryna Sabalenka, the Belarusian tennis professional, is all set to play for the major in Paris, France. After winning the Australian Open at the beginning of year, Sabalenka jumped up the ranks. Moreover, she also won the esteemed Madrid Open and reached the final stages of all Master’s tournaments besides the Italian Open.

As Sabalenka looks forward to winning the clay major, let’s take a look at the people behind her successful career. The 24-year-old tennis star was just 6 years old when her father took her to the tennis court for the first-time. And since then, neither her family nor the tennis star have looked back. Moreover, her family has been her pillar throughout her tenacious journey.

Aryna Sabalenka’s parents- Sergey and Yulia Sabalenka

The current World No.5 visited the courts for the first time with her father, Sergey Sabalenka. Sergey himself was an ice hockey player until he was 19. However, he could not continue further due to his involvement in a car accident. Post the traumatic period, Sergey took to ice only for the amateur games. Although Aryna’s mother, Yulia Sabalenka, is relatively unknown to tennis fans, Yulia certainly stood by the Belarusian beauty, as she aimed for the top spot in the tennis circuit.
