Aryna Sabalenka recently paired with Anna Kalinskaya in an interview, where the two spoke about their respective styles and choices. While the Belarusian player labeled Kalinskaya's style as sexy, the Russian player had a different perspective about her own style.
The two featured in a behind-the-scenes interview with Harper's Bazar Australia. The magazine shared a video of the players having a fun conversation with each other, doing a Q&A session about their choices. When asked about how she would label her style, Kalinskaya said:
"I would say classic," she said.
Voicing her thoughts about Anna's style, Sabalenka immediately interrupted, saying:
"Come on, classic, sexy, beautiful, stunning," Sabalenka said.
Meanwhile, Anna Kalinskaya said:
"I wouldn't say sexy."
Explaining her point of view, Aryna Sabalenka further said:
"It is sexy because your body is beautiful, and you open up some parts, and it looks so.. I would call it sexy."
Sabalenka started her 2025 season strongly by winning the Brisbane International after defeating Polina Kudermetova 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the final. This was the 18th WTA singles title of the 26-year-old's career.

Aryna Sabalenka appeared in an interview with Tracey Holmes of Harper Bazar Australia and spoke about her dream of inspiring people. Reflecting on her past experiences and acknowledging the hard work it took for her to be here, she said:
"My dream is to inspire people, to be a fighter and to be an example of not giving up and going through whatever life throws at me. If someone can look at me and think. She did it, and she was strong, and I just have to do the same and I can go through it. I’ll be really happy. I would love to inspire people to be strong and never give up," said Aryna Sabalenka.
Talking about her sacrifices and hardships, she added:
"It took me a lot to get where I am right now, and I’ve had to make a lot of sacrifices. It has definitely taken a lot of hard work, and it’s a long process. It’s not something that happens just by one click."
Following her triumph in Brisbane, Sabalenka will next compete at the Australian Open, which is the first Grand Slam where she is the top seed in the singles tournament. The 26-year-old will start her title defense against Sloane Stephens, with the winner facing either Sonay Kartal or Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the second round.
