For one week, beer instead of Marg-ARYNA
When Sabalenka won one match after another in Miami, eventually securing her seventh 1000 title without dropping a set, she toasted her success at the Tennis Channel desk with the popular margarita. When asked about this in Stuttgart, she smiled and emphasized the importance of correct pronunciation: “Excuse me, Marg-ARYNA!” she explained laughing.”That’s a different drink.”
But in Europe, different habits are prevailing.
“I’ll probably have to switch to beer here,” she said when asked what her go-to drink might be in Germany. “I don’t drink when I play, but hopefully there will be a drink after the tournament. We’re in Germany, so it should be beer, right?”
With her team of Anton Dubrov, Jason Stacey and Andrei Vasilevski, she shares a similar sense of fun. During the Australian Open, Sabalenka adorned Stacey’s head with autographs or stick-on tattoos—‘as a lucky charm.’ Her team members are also frequently seen dancing in her Instagram or TikTok videos.
