Leave it to Victoria Azarenka to stir the pot in the most delightfully unexpected way. In a cheeky Q&A that veered wildly off script, the two-time Grand Slam champ was asked a seemingly harmless question: Who hits the ball harder—Aryna Sabalenka or Tommy Paul? Without missing a beat, Azarenka smirked and dropped a truth bomb that had tennis fans buzzing: “Aryna, hands down. No contest.”
Now, Tommy Paul is no slouch when it comes to pace—his forehand can send balls screaming into the corners. But Sabalenka? She’s built like a power-hitting cyborg, routinely demolishing serves and groundstrokes with a ferocity that leaves opponents gasping for air. When Azarenka says Sabalenka brings the heat, you better believe it’s more than just locker room banter.
This comparison isn’t just fun and games—it reignites the conversation about the raw power women bring to the modern game. Sabalenka’s explosive style has become a spectacle in itself, with fans showing up just to witness the sheer violence she unleashes on the ball. Paul may be fast, smooth, and deceptively strong, but Sabalenka is a walking highlight reel of brute force.
Azarenka’s comment might raise a few eyebrows on the ATP side, but it’s also a big win for the WTA. One thing’s for sure—next time Paul and Sabalenka share a practice court, someone’s going to have something to prove. Get your radar guns ready.
