March 25, 2024,
Her emotions can be as powerful as her groundstrokes.
Not to mention her serve.
That’s a good thing.
Most of the time.
All said and done, watching tennis champion Aryna Sabalenka battle on the tennis courts is an amazing experience.
Time for some basics.
Aryna is a Belarusian professional tennis player who is a former world No. 1 in both singles and doubles by the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA). Our super star has won two major singles titles, at the 2023 and 2024 Australian Opens.
A great rivalry appears to be forming between her and American sensation Coco Gauff as their recent meetings are clashes of destiny.
Time for a little history.
She hopes that history repeats itself.
As the 2023 Australian Open champion, Aryna Sabalenka is ready to make a deep run in 2024.
Speaking of history.
In the lead up to the 2023 Australian Open, our super star entered Adelaide 1 as the second seed.
She reached her first final of the season by defeating Liudmila Samsonova, Markéta Vondroušová, Irina-Camelia Begu en route.
Then, she defeated Czech teenage qualifier Linda Nosková to win her first title since Madrid 2021 and 11th career title without dropping a single set all week.
Very impressive.
It soon would become even more impressive.
Sabalenka entered the Australian Open as the fifth seed and one of the title contenders.
She defeated Tereza Martincová, Shelby Rogers, former doubles partner and 26th seed Elise Mertens, and the previous week’s Adelaide 2 champion and world no. 10 Belinda Bencic to reach her first-ever Australian Open quarterfinal.
Drum roll please.
She then beat Donna Vekić to reached her fourth Grand Slam semifinal, and won her tenth consecutive match by beating Magda Linette to make her first ever major final.
There was tension and excitement in air.
In the final, she defeated reigning Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina in three sets to win her first major title.
She became the second Belarusian to ever win a major singles title, and the first since Victoria Azarenka, a decade ago. After winning the title in Melbourne, Sabalenka rose back to No. 2 in the WTA rankings.
2024 is already developing into a trail blazing year.
She continues to attract the attention of fans and important sponsors around the world.

MIAMI, March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As part of a two-year partnership, global açaí brand OAKBERRY and tennis superstar Aryna Sabalenka are teaming up to launch the all new Sabalenka Signature Açaí Bowl. Launching at Miami’s biggest tennis tournament on March 17, tennis fans will be the first to try the bowl exclusively on the tournament grounds before it hits OAKBERRY menus nationwide on March 19 for a limited time.
Serving up a winning combination, the Sabalenka Signature Açaí Bowl is made with OAKBERRY’s all-natural and organic açaí, chia pudding and peanut butter, topped off with cacao nibs and banana. Just as the tennis star takes on her next match, fans have the opportunity to try her “go-to” order and eat like a champion. To celebrate the launch of her bowl nationwide, Sabalenka will be hosting fans and media at OAKBERRY’s Meridian location in Miami Beach on March 19, giving the inside scoop on how OAKBERRY helps her stay fueled throughout the season.
“OAKBERRY has been fueling me both on and off the court since I was first introduced to it here in Miami,” said Aryna Sabalenka. “Whether for breakfast or post-training fuel, my bowl has everything you need to get energized and I am thrilled that OAKBERRY is giving fans everywhere a chance to try it out!”

Sabalenka has shown that she has no intention of slowing down anytime soon, as she started off the year by earning her second major singles title and announcing her partnership with OAKBERRY as it expands its footprint both in the United States and across the world.
The tennis star is the first member of OAKBERRY’s growing roster of athletic partners to collaborate on a menu item. Over the brand’s history, OAKBERRY has also partnered with lifestyle-centric teams and organizations, including the Moneygram Haas F1 Team, the World Surf League, and many more.
