Sabalenka possesses an intimidating presence on the tennis court, which she uses to her advantage. Her relentless work ethic and determination have contributed to her rapid rise in the rankings. But off-court, Sabalenka is really fond of engaging with her fans on social media. One thing that allows her to interact with her fans is to engage with them in a question-and-answer series.
