In a recent interview on the WTA Insider, the Belarusian confessed to some of the changes in herself that she is proud of. Sabalenka spoke about her friendship with Paula Badosa and how she evolved from being a closed-up person to the energized player that she is. 

I cannot ignore the fact that I'm really proud that I was able to understand myself better. I have this control of myself. That's quite an obvious thing. Everyone sees that, but it's really tough to improve when you're such an emotional person and you're used to getting super emotional every time. To actually become really in control on court, it's really tough work.
