US Open<\/a> last year, Sabalenka posted a TikTok video with Alcaraz following an interview on the Today Show.<\/p>\nWhen Sabalenka was asked what she would give Alcaraz for his birthday in her on-court interview after beating Iva Jovic, 6-3 6-0, she suggested that another video could be on the cards.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat would I give him?\u201d responded Sabalenka. \u201cI would offer him a TikTok dance probably and I would like to receive yes as an answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, I don\u2019t know what else\u2026Yeah, last year I forced him to do it so I feel like I can do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sabalenka and Alcaraz have their birthdays at the same time as the Italian Open this year, where both players are expected to be competing, which means that there is a possibility for this video to become reality.<\/p>\n
Aryna Sabalenka explains what she does to relax during a Grand Slam<\/p>\n
Showing why she is the world number one, Sabalenka has been very consistent at Grand Slams in recent years and has reached at least the quarterfinals of her last 13 major tournaments.<\/p>\n
When asked about how she manages her time during Grand Slams, Sabalenka explained how she manages her time away from the court, including making TikTok videos and watching Netflix.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly not many things changes,\u201d Sabalenka said in her post-match press conference. \u201cIt\u2019s, like, at the beginning of the tournament, there is a lot of things that I have to do for brands, a lot of TikToks that I have to do for my health (laughter), but no, I\u2019m just trying to, you know, be focused on the match day, play the match, and then until the, I don\u2019t know, next match I\u2019m just trying to stay relaxed and do things that I like, go for dinners, stay in the room, watch Netflix.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always different. Sometimes go for shopping. I just, I don\u2019t know, follow \u2014 I don\u2019t know. I trust myself. Whatever I feel like doing, I go for it, and that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sabalenka now has a day off to do all of those things ahead of her fourth Australian Open semifinal, where she will play Elina Svitolina.<\/p>\n
