Iga Świątek and Aryna Sabalenka not only trained together. Their practice, ahead of the WTA Finals, was accompanied by a shared fun session, which quickly became a social media hit. The video shows that both tennis stars are really enjoying each other’s company.
This year's WTA Finals are scheduled from November 2-9. However, the players have already arrived in Riyadh to get familiar with the court surface and the conditions at the competition venue. On Thursday, Świątek and Sabalenka had the chance to train together.

Although both stars are vying for the top spot in the WTA rankings in Saudi Arabia, there is no visible pressure on them yet. On Thursday, they were both in high spirits, creating a video that quickly gained popularity online. Smiles never left their faces.
The training session ended with a shared dance and a playful move where Świątek covered the phone camera with her shoe. When the camera is uncovered, both stars appear in evening dresses.
A photoshoot in elegant attire was planned for Thursday afternoon in Riyadh, followed by a dinner later in the evening, which was to have a more relaxed atmosphere.
Photos from the event, published by the WTA photographer, have already appeared online. One of them shows the entire team of the Polish tennis star.
Excitement starting Saturday
Świątek’s first match in the WTA Finals will be on Sunday, November 3, against Czech player Barbora Krejcikova. Her next opponents will be Americans Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula.
Sabalenka, in the other group, will face Chinese player Qinwen Zheng, Italian Jasmine Paolini, and Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina.
