Aryna Sabalenka may soon lose the World No. 1 ranking to Elena Rybakina, but she still has a good shot at completing a rare three-peat at the US Open. The top seed will take on Rybakina in the summit clash on Saturday. Behind her brilliant form on Tour, and at the New York Slam in particular, is a solid team led by Anton Dubrov.
During this year’s US Open run, another key member of her team, Jason Stacy, has also made headlines. Essaying the role of Sabalenka’s mental and physical performance coach, Stacy has been instrumental in ensuring that the two-time defending champion is in top shape throughout the year. Not only has he helped Sabalenka maintain her strength and agility, but has also worked on improving her body awareness and managing emotions during pressure moments.
