Meet Sergey Sabalenka’s Parents
Sergey Sabalenka dad, Sergey passes away in 2019. He was an ice hockey player. Sabalenka began playing tennis by chance. She said,
“One day, my dad was just driving me somewhere in the car, and on the way he saw tennis courts. So he took me to the courts. I really liked it and enjoyed it and that’s how it was. That’s how it started.”
After the National Tennis Academy in Minsk opened in 2014, Sabalenka decided to begin her training there. Even though, she was still being eligible to compete at the junior level, the Belarusian Tennis Federation suggested that she prioritize on participating in low-level professional tournaments instead of junior competitions starting in 2015. She share via Instagram,
“If somebody would ever tell me when I just started to play tennis that one day Iโll be number one in the world I probably would never believe in that but I am very fortunate and thankful that I had so much support throughout my whole life from my family and people around me to achieve what I have today!”
