World No. 1 tennis ace Aryna Sabalenka is known to be a ferocious competitor on court, with her outbursts often attracting criticism from fans, with some labelling her a sore loser too. However, the Belarusian is not going to change her ways, and has insisted her fiery demeanour is what has fuelled her success - she has won four Grand Slam titles.
In a recent interview with US magazine Vogue, Sabalenka, 28, said: "I think that I should win every match. If you're not thinking that way, then what are you doing?"
Sabalenka, who will begin her French Open title defence next week, revealed she would get upset with herself for getting emotional when she was younger, but not anymore. "Now I understand that it's okay to throw the racquet or go nuts if you feel like you're holding too much in. It looks terrible, but I need it," she added.
