Aryna Sabalenka Launches New YouTube Channel
Fans of Aryna Sabalenka, currently ranked as the world’s number one in women’s tennis, have been pleasantly surprised by her recent announcement of a new YouTube channel. This channel will feature a series of vlogs, with the inaugural episode diving into her experiences during the opening week of Wimbledon.
Engaging with Fans
Sabalenka is celebrated not just for her athletic prowess but for her approachable personality, actively engaging with her fan base through various social media platforms. She frequently collaborates on entertaining content, including TikTok videos with her rivals. Notably, during the 2024 WTA Finals, she teamed up with fellow competitor Iga Swiatek to create a TikTok, reflecting their friendly rivalry for the year-end number one ranking. Before the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, Sabalenka was seen dancing on TikTok with Coco Gauff, effectively putting their previous tensions—stemming from Sabalenka’s remarks following her loss to Gauff in the 2025 French Open final—behind them.
Inside the Vlog
In her debut vlog, viewers get a glimpse into Sabalenka’s Wimbledon experience. Contrary to the usual choice of staying in the tournament’s vicinity, she and her team opted to rent a house nearby, allowing them space to relax between matches, a choice that several athletes make for a better mental strategy. The vlog showcases the strong bond she shares with her team members, including her coach, Anton Dubrov, and her boyfriend, Georgios Frangulis, giving an intimate look at her daily life.
A highlight of the vlog features a training session with Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic, which turned heads as they engaged in a friendly competition involving tennis ball challenges. While Djokovic ultimately bested Sabalenka in this duel, they shared a light-hearted agreement that the loser would prepare acai for the victor, a task Djokovic humorously fulfilled in the vlog.
Fashion and Future Content
Towards the end of the vlogs, Sabalenka discusses her preparations for an IM8 event, showcasing her passion for fashion and her glamorous lifestyle. Her vlog series, aptly titled ‘Aryna’s Arena’, promises to provide fans with a genuine and candid look into the life of one of tennis’s premier athletes, highlighting her emotional journey through victories and defeats.
Though only one episode has been released so far, the series holds potential to be among the most compelling tennis-related content available, particularly due to Sabalenka’s openness about her thoughts and feelings. This move follows a similar trend in the sport, as ATP world number one Jannik Sinner launched his YouTube channel this year, beginning with a vlog about his 2025 Australian Open win. However, Sinner has only uploaded two brief videos since then, leaving fans uncertain about future content.
