La pression ne semble pas effrayer Aryna Sabalenka. Bien au contraire. Numéro 1 mondiale depuis bientôt deux ans sans interruption, la Biélorusse voit Elena Rybakina se rapprocher dangereusement au classement avant le WTA 1000 de Cincinnati. Une situation qui pourrait inquiéter certaines joueuses mais que la quadruple championne en Grand Chelem assure apprécier. Lors du Media Day organisé mercredi dans l'Ohio, Sabalenka a été interrogée sur cette position particulière de joueuse à battre. Sa réponse a été claire : "J'adore ça. J'adore avoir une cible dans le dos. Tout le monde veut vous battre."

00:30Just tell us what that's like
00:32I mean, you can look at this like you're defending something
00:35But to be honest, I mean, you have the target on your back
00:39Everyone wants to beat you
00:41But I feel like it's the same if you're number one, number two, number ten
00:46It doesn't really matter what the ranking
00:48Anyway, when you go out there on the court, everyone wants to beat you
00:51So it's normal, it's just an extra problem of motivation
00:54For others to just like go out there and be like fearless
00:58And, you know, play their best tennis
01:03So you basically deal with like players who go there and perform their best
01:08And you have to, you know, have to deal with that and get the job done
01:14But you've never shied away from sort of enjoying that spot
01:19I always enjoy that
01:20I love it, I love having the target on my back
01:22I like to see a young generation looking up to me
01:26And get inspired by me
01:29But I feel like they also kind of get inspired
01:31Even if I drop in the ranking a little bit
01:34Hopefully it will never happen
01:35But for me, I feel like
01:40As long as I focus on myself
01:41And I focus on developing myself as a player and as a person
01:46Ranking doesn't really matter
01:50Marina, I just spoke with your coach Jason
01:53And he
01:53Oh, did you?
01:54Yeah
01:54Was it interesting?
01:55Oh, he was actually candid and emotional
01:58Oh, did he cry?
02:00He did
02:03About kind of how much his life has changed
02:05Since you've, you know, for the seven years
02:08And now you're obviously more successful
02:10The rooms that he's been in
02:12Kind of coming from that
02:13Have you been, have you gotten a chance to reflect on
02:16These, you know, this time that you've had
02:18And now where you are being in these rooms
02:20With big people
02:22And you being number one
02:23To be honest, I try
02:24Like, I don't want to like stop and look back
02:28Because every time I try to
02:29Like I get completely crazy and emotional
02:31Because it's like
02:32It took a lot of work
02:34A lot of tough moments
02:36A lot of things to, you know
02:38To go through
02:39And it's been, it's been a journey
02:42It's been a hallowed journey
02:43And I try to
02:45Not to do that
02:46I try to focus on the
02:48You know, like staying present
02:50And like doing everything in now
02:52But of course, like I have like
02:54Beautiful opportunity
02:55Like big opportunities
02:57I'm enjoying my life
02:58I'm enjoying these tough challenges
03:00Of course, there is sometimes
03:02Downs, you know
03:03Like sometimes you're not only like
03:05On the top of the world
03:06Sometimes you face some tough challenges
03:08But I enjoy because, you know
03:10Like it's, it's my journey
03:11And I just, I feel like
03:13I'll be able to reflect
03:14At the end of my career
03:16To look back
03:17And like, wow
03:18That was, that was amazing
03:19Right now
03:20I just, I feel like
03:21The best way for me
03:22Is just to stay in the moment
03:23And to really enjoy
03:24Every opportunity
03:26Every single moment
03:27Without like really
03:29Getting deep into like
03:32How beautiful my life is
03:34You know
03:34So what happens to you
03:36This time of year
03:37That like
03:38The last few years
03:40Have worked out
03:41Pretty well for you
03:43What happened to me?
03:45Like what happened
03:45Not much
03:46I'm like here
03:47No, I mean
03:47When you come
03:48No, I mean
03:48This time of year
03:49Like what
03:50In the season
03:51This point of the season
03:52You seem to be playing
03:53You, you
03:55You get up to playing
03:56Your best tennis of the year
03:57And I'm sort of curious
03:58Like what is it
04:00What is it about summer?
04:01What is it about August?
04:03What is it about
04:03I don't know
04:04I think every time
04:05I had like
04:06No expectations
04:07No
04:10No fear
04:11No anything
04:11I was just
04:13Out there competing
04:14Enjoying
04:15Playing
04:15Fighting
04:16And that's what
04:18I'm planning to do
04:18Is like
04:19Compete
04:20Fight
04:20And enjoy
04:21Enjoy every
04:23Challenging
04:24That comes my way
04:25Is that different
04:26Than
04:28You
04:29Have you
04:29Have you
04:30Gone into other
04:31Tournaments this season
04:32With expectations
04:33With
04:34Of course
04:35I think
04:36I mean
04:37I would say
04:38That the summer
04:39I had
04:42Even though
04:42I don't want to say that
04:43But like
04:44I had huge expectations
04:45That I'll succeed
04:47In the tournament
04:47That I desperately
04:48Wanted to succeed
04:49And
04:51But yeah
04:52But my body
04:53Stopped me from that
04:54And then little things
04:56That didn't really
04:56Work my way
04:57And you know
04:58It really
05:00Lead me to
05:02Disappointment
05:03And to like
05:04Time that I had
05:04Like I wanted to
05:05You know
05:05Like stay away
05:07For a little bit
05:07Away from tennis
05:09Just so I can
05:10Like you know
05:10Refresh
05:11Restart
05:11And
05:13And be
05:14Hungry again
05:15So
05:15That's why
05:16Like this time
05:17Like no expectation
05:19Basically
05:20Whatever
05:20I'll just go
05:21All there
05:22And compete
05:22And fight
05:22And
05:23Every time
05:24I make this decision
05:25I bring my best tennis
05:26And I play my best tennis
05:28So
05:29That's my plan
05:30You
05:31Iga
05:32Koko
05:32Probably
05:32Three of the top
05:33Players
05:34On the tour
05:34In recent year
05:35All still fighting
05:35For that first
05:36Grandstand
05:37I forgot
05:37But it's okay
05:40She's kind of
05:40Like number two
05:41Right now
05:42But yeah
05:43And then
05:44Just like
05:45In general
05:45In recent years
05:46Do you think
05:46That's kind of
05:47A reflection
05:47Of how
05:48The WTA
05:49Has gotten
05:49More competitive
05:50This year
05:51With more
05:51Players
05:52Being able
05:53To chase
05:54For the top
05:54Titles
05:55Yeah
05:56I feel like
05:56Level
05:57Definitely
05:58Improved
06:00Definitely
06:00High level
06:01There is no
06:01Easy matches
06:02The first round
06:03Is also
06:03A tough round
06:04And every time
06:05You're out there
06:06You really have
06:06To perform
06:07Your best
06:07Otherwise
06:08Someone else
06:08Gonna
06:09Take your spot
06:10So
06:11I feel like
06:12The intensity
06:12The level
06:13Definitely
06:14Rised
06:14And then
06:15Also
06:16You've played
06:17In Cincinnati
06:17For several years
06:18Now
06:18Do you have
06:19A favorite spot
06:20In the area
