Speaking candidly about her decision, Sabalenka mentioned that her recent wins and consistent performances at Grand Slams had given her a sense of closure on the court. “I’ve achieved what I set out to do. Tennis has given me everything, but I am ready to step into a new life alongside Konstantin,” she remarked in an emotional statement. She emphasized that her relationship with Koltsov, a former hockey player, has been a strong source of support throughout her career, and now she looks forward to focusing on family and other personal passions.
