Sabalenka Shrugs Off AO Loss, Eyes Improvement Over Revenge

  • Aryna Sabalenka isn't seeking revenge for her surprising Australian Open loss to Madison Keys last year.
  • She aims to improve her game, stating her status as defending champion or runner-up doesn't change her goal.
  • Sabalenka enjoys playing in Australia due to the atmosphere and fan engagement, despite disliking the heat.
  • She starts her season in Brisbane for challenging matches, with this year's draw featuring seven top-10 players.
  • Sabalenka expressed a desire to "do a little bit better" than last year's final performance.

Why It Matters: Sabalenka focuses on self-improvement and challenging matches, not revenge for last year's AO loss.
