Aryna Sabalenka shared a photo with Iga Świątek on social media, and the image perfectly captures the dynamic between the two top players.

The rivalry between Iga Świątek and Aryna Sabalenka has long been one of the most compelling storylines in women’s tennis. Both players consistently perform at an exceptional level and are undeniably the best in the tour at present, as reflected by their positions at the top of the WTA rankings.

Each match between the Polish and Belarusian players garners immense attention. It was no different during the exhibition World Tennis League tournament, where they faced off in a doubles match. Sabalenka, paired with Mirra Andreeva, secured a decisive 6-1 victory over Świątek and Paula Badosa.

The Hawks, represented by Sabalenka and Andreeva, advanced to the final, while the Eagles, featuring Świątek and Badosa, finished last. The decisive match is scheduled for Sunday. Despite focusing on preparations for the final, the WTA No. 1 found time to connect with her Polish rival.

Sabalenka posted a photo with the world No. 2 on her Instagram story, revealing that the two had an opportunity to train together. “Good practice with Iga Świątek,” she captioned the post.
