Aryna Sabalenka recently made her feelings known about having a refreshing time during her vacation ahead of her appearance at the Cincinnati Open. The Belarusian is now gearing up for the upcoming hardcourt swing.

Sabalenka was last seen in action during Wimbledon, where she produced some dominant performances to reach the semi-final round. Here, she locked horns with Amanda Anisimova, who claimed an impressive 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 win over the World No. 1. Following this heartbreaking upset, the latter decided to take some time off the court and took the first week of August off, opting out of the Citi Open and the Canadian Open.

The Belarusian player went on a vacation to Miami, Florida, to rejuvenate herself ahead of the remaining 2025 season. She also shared glimpses of her vacation on social media and is now ready to make her comeback to the court and compete at the Cincinnati Open. In a recent press conference, she opened up about how refreshing the outing was for her ahead of the tournament.

"I didn't even go to the gym, I have to say. I did one workout, 30 minutes, incline walking, I was in my bikini and flip flops just so you know how professional I was. But I did it, just in case because you know the food was really good. I just wanted to make sure I have some space in there. But it wasn't much actually. It was like a week, 7 or 8 days, but it was amazing days, you know, I felt so good and much needed and now I'm fresh and ready," said Aryna Sabalenka.

Along with Wimbledon, the 27-year-old has suffered multiple heartbreaking losses in majors this year, including the Australian Open final and the French Open final.
