Tennis Champ Aryna Sabalenka Announces New Unscripted YouTube Series ‘Aryna’s Arena’ (Exclusive)

Tennis star Aryna Sabalenka is offering a behind-the-scenes look into her life off the court in a new YouTube series titled Aryna’s Arena.

The “first-of-its-kind, real-time, episodic series” from the 27-year-old World No. 1 women’s single tennis champion will launch Thursday, July 17, on her Youtube channel, Us Weekly can exclusively reveal.

The series will take a peek into Sabalenka’s life on the road, revealing her “most unfiltered self yet,” according to a press release. Sabalenka’s shocking Wimbledon exit — which took place July 10 after losing to American opponent Amanda Anisimova — will be discussed in the episodes.

There will also be more high-spirited moments, including Nerf gun wars with her team and cameos from other tennis legends like World No.1 men’s singles player Novak Djokovic, who she competes in a friendly competition with, where whoever loses has to whip up açaí bowls for everyone.

Sabalenka currently holds 20 Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) singles titles. Three of those — the 2023 and 2024 Australian Opens and the 2024 US Open — are Grand Slam titles.

The Belarusian professional tennis player has also achieved much success in women’s doubles, where she holds six WTA titles, including 2019 US Open and 2021 Australian Open, alongside her Belgian partner, Elise Mertens.

Though there will be many moments for die-hard fans of the tennis star to enjoy, the series hopes to provide a glimpse into her life for all viewers — sports fans or otherwise. “Aryna’s Arena is your all-access pass to the heart and hustle behind one of the greatest athletes of our time,” a statement from her team reads.
