Arina Sabalenka`s coach Anton Dubrov spoke in an interview about communication with the Australian Open champion and her diet at tournaments.





- Absolutely adequate. Leps has a song, not entirely censored - faces. At some point I told her, she then showed that this is true: every day you see the same face. Even the intonation begins to infuriate over time.


As in any relationship, sometimes you need a break. You perceive it adequately when it is clear that a person is tired of you. Or at tournaments from football partners you yourself try to make even less contact, because a huge amount of emotions pours out. So it`s better that we step back on our site and give her more freedom.


When there are no tournaments, there are more emotions, the most seething in her, so we can talk more, eat together more often. At this tournament, in general, she almost always had dinner in her room alone, no one bothered her. We only brought her cherries, that was my job.





- Yes, we just devour fruit, no wonder in Australia. Mango, I think she probably ate a couple of kilos.





- In general, when you train before and during a tournament, you limit yourself. You eat 3-4 times a day, but the main thing is not to eat enough.


The main problem is the evening snacks, which are called dokinutsya. This should be stopped immediately. She loves gelatines very much. After the final, Jason [Stacy, strength and conditioning coach] brought her a pack of gelatin and said: This is really what you played for. She waited for this gelatin for three weeks.





- This is more of a joke. Nobody forbids her anything or limits her, because any limitation will never lead to good, but there is always a certain deficit, it must be so that you are ready all the time.
