Aryna Sabalenka and her famous tiger tattoo

Aryna Sabalenka said, “I think I was 18 years old and my parents didn’t know about this tattoo. And when they saw it the first time my dad was laughing, I don’t know why, but my mom didn’t talk to me for one week. And then she said like ‘I hope it’s the first and the last one’ and I said ‘look yeah mama it’s the first one and the last one’ and then I turned around I said ‘hopefully,’ but she didn’t hear that.” 

“I don’t know, I just make it… Sometimes in the court, to remind me that you need to fight for each point.”

Sabalenka, who was born in the year of the Tiger (1998) talked about getting inspiration from her birth year, as it was the main reason for her to get the tattoo.
