She is known as one of the funniest and most relaxed tennis players on social media, and her profile is followed by more than 1.7 million people.

The 28-year-old regularly shares trending content on her official TikTok page.

Aryna often shoots dance challenges, popular choreography, lip-sync videos and fashion transformations with viral sounds, including songs like "Rock That Body" or hits with funny lyrics about appearance.

Sabalenka is also known for getting other big tennis stars to appear in her videos. That's how she recorded viral content with Novak Djokovic, convinced a completely exhausted Carlos Alcaraz to record a TikTok right after he won the US Open, while she made the famous shaking hands trend with Karen Khachanov. In addition, she often posts relaxed dance videos with her best friend from the tennis world, Paula Badosa.

World no. 1 is not someone who is shy to show the other side of her personality, claiming several times that she is not overly interested in criticism and that she is simply a relaxed person who likes to engage in such challenges.

Social media approach

Her approach to social media represents a combination of serious sports professionalism and a relaxed personality, which is why she has become one of the most popular female tennis players among the younger audience.

A similar personality in the men's game is Novak Djokovic. The Serbian tennis player is known for his unique character, sense of humour and willingness to take part in various challenges. Djokovic has recorded several entertaining videos with Aryna Sabalenka, creating positive reactions among tennis fans and circles around the world.

In a recent interview with the media, Aryna Sabalenka reflected on her TikTok content, revealing that such things happened naturally. She specifically spoke about her relationship with Novak Djokovic, emphasizing that their communication is very positive and open.

The 28-year-old explained how their collaboration came about, recalling a spontaneous moment during Roland Garros. 

"I don't know, it happened naturally because I'm not shy about things," Sabalenka said. "We joked a bit with Novak here and there, talked, I asked him for advice, and gradually we started communicating. Last year I started it; they were filming me on the stairs, and I couldn't just walk down boringly, I had to do something silly. I danced a bit, and he said, 'I'm challenging you'," she said.

Sabalenka also talked about the viral video with Carlos Alcaraz that sparked an avalanche of reactions and a lot of interesting comments, including comments like: "Carlos Alcaraz blink if you suffer", while many joked that it was easier for Alcaraz to play the final than to make this video.

Sabalenka revealed that Carlos was exhausted at that moment, but that she still wanted to record a video with him, which soon went viral and attracted a lot of attention from the tennis public.

"At the US Open, Carlos had eyes like... because I had a day off, but he had just won and celebrated with his team, slept maybe three or four hours," Sabalenka said.

"He came in completely exhausted, and I said, 'Carlos, we need to make a TikTok.

It was very funny, Carlos looked so clumsy and sweet. My birthday is on the same day as his, so I used that to convince him."

 

Alcaraz reacts

Carlos Alcaraz responded to Sabalenka's TikTok obsession with a lot of laughter, charm and cute "calling out" on social media. The two share a great friendship, mainly because they were born on the same day, May 5, which is why the tennis public often refers to them as the "birthday twins".

Their most famous TikTok interaction happened after they both won the US Open, and Alcaraz's reactions went viral for some hilarious moments.

After Sabalenka persuaded him to record a TikTok dance with her and the championship trophies to the song "Made for Me", the video collected millions of views. Alcaraz, who is not a natural dancer like the Belarusian tennis player, later responded jokingly on social media, making it clear that he didn't even know what he was doing during the filming.

Their relaxed relationship and different characters were exactly the reason why the video became so popular among fans.

Another unforgettable moment happened when they were guests on the famous American show The Today Show following their double triumph at the US Open. During the conversation, Sabalenka talked about her plans for TikTok, but she made a cute gaffe when she turned to Carlos and said in front of the live cameras: "By the way, I have to record a TikTok with Jannik..." - accidentally calling him by the name of his great rival Jannik Sinner.
