Tennis fans love a bit of drama—and Aryna Sabalenka just gave them a courtside mystery to chew on. During a tense third-set battle in Rome, Sabalenka found herself facing a surprising moment: her opponent called for a medical timeout… and what Aryna did next stole the show.
Now, most players use this break to regroup, rehydrate, maybe do a few squats or pace like a caffeinated panther. Not Aryna. Oh no—she casually pulled out her phone from her bag (yes, her phone!), plopped down in her chair like she was at a spa, and began… scrolling.
Was it Instagram? TikTok? An urgent Wordle? No one knows. But one sharp-eyed fan claimed she was watching a dog video—because yes, apparently Sabalenka follows several accounts dedicated to German Shepherds. Priorities.
Meanwhile, commentators didn’t know what to make of it.
“Is she watching match highlights?”
“Is that even allowed??”
“Wait… did she just giggle?”
Some called it disrespectful. Others said it was a power move of legendary proportions. Facebook groups were split right down the middle:
“She’s unbothered. Ice queen energy 🔥”
“Totally inappropriate. This isn’t brunch!”
To add to the chaos, Aryna later posted a story of her sitting courtside with the caption:
“Multitasking queen 👑💅”
Yep. She knows exactly what she’s doing.
But don’t worry—once the timeout ended, Sabalenka jumped up, cracked her knuckles, and won the next three games in a row. Coincidence? Doubtful.
Whether it was pure confidence, gamesmanship, or just a much-needed mental break filled with memes, one thing’s for sure: Aryna Sabalenka is redefining what it means to stay cool under pressure.
Phone in hand, nails on point, and serve locked and loaded—this is a woman who’s always one scroll away from stealing the show.
