Tennis star Aryna Sabalenka is gearing up for the first major clay tournament of this year. The world number one was spotted in the intense practice session of the Stuttgart Open 2025. The Belarusian star has recently showcased glimpses of brilliance in her first clay tournament of the year and seems keen to add another title to her stellar career.
The Belarusian star was recently spotted practising with Diana Shnaider. Notably, Sabalenka has received the bye in this forthcoming event, and she will directly be appearing from the pre-quarters, Round of 16. However, Diana will be playing in the Round of 32, where she is set to face Veronika Kudermetova. The Russian star will be looking to win this game to storm into the pre-quarters.

The two tennis stars head to this tournament after winning the Miami Open 2025 title. Aryna Sabalenka has defeated Jessica Pegula in the women's singles title. On the other hand, Shnaider, alongside her partner Mirra Andreeva, has won doubles titles. After the Miami Open, she was seen at the Charleston Open but crashed out in the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, tennis star Aryna Sabalenka has recently lifted her first WTA 1000 title at the Miami Open 2025. The Belarusian star had the stellar run of the tournament, where she defeated American stalwart Jessica Pegula in the summit clash with a scoreline of 7-6, 5-2.
"I think I was able to completely forget about (it being) the final, about the outside things, and I was just so focused on the game. It is all about those key moments of the match, about playing aggressively and staying with the game plan, going for shots without being afraid of losing the point. I consider myself one of the world's best hard-court players, but she's probably the best," said Sabalenka.
