Aryna Sabalenka fans worldwide are waiting for May 5 to come around. After all, it would mark the Belarusian’s 25th birthday. However, Sabalenka herself isn’t probably as excited about it as her fans. After all, careers in tennis tend to be short, and very few players have the drive that the likes of Roger Federer had. For instance, in 2018, when Federer was already 36 years old, the Swiss Maestro was still aiming to be the oldest World No. 1. Age seems to have caught up with Sabalenka faster, according to her latest interview.

The World No. 2 revealed how she felt she is getting old going into her 25th birthday. Right now, Sabalenka is hoping to win the Madrid Open, and her most recent match saw her defeating Colombian Camila Osorio in the tournament’s round of 32.

According to Aryna Sabalenka, turning 25 will make her tearful

Turning 25 for most is not a big deal. However, Sabalenka is probably dreading the fact that there are only a few days to go before she turns 25.

When Amritraj quizzed Sabalenka regarding her birthday plans, Sabalenka said, “I’m gonna cry all day long because I’m getting old you know”. Amritraj, clearly amused by Sabalenka’s response, said, “the girl’s turning 25.”

Sabalenka elaborated on her previous remark, saying, “I remember myself being 20 and right now it’s just like bam! And you’re 25! I’m afraid the next time I’ll wake up and it’s like 35 and then I’m done.”

Irrespective of how old Sabalenka feels, she continues to love her sister to bits

Following her latest win in the Madrid Open, Sabalenka proved the importance of her sister Tonya to the world.

Turns out that Sabalenka had promised to Tonya that she would say hi to her on camera if she registered a triumph in the round of 32 at the Madrid Open. Following the match, Sabalenka was answering questions during a routine post-match interview. However, all of a sudden, she said, “Sorry I promised my sister to say hi to her so hi Tonya! I love you and I miss you!”. Sabalenka followed her statement up with a flying kiss for her beloved sister.
