Sabalenka not bothered about potential return of Wimbledon ban: "If they ban us for another year, I'm going to have fun at home"

Former Wimbledon semi-finalist Aryna Sabalenka is not worried about a potential Wimbledon ban in 2023 explaining that she's going to have fun at home.

Sabalenka played really well in the 2021 Wimbledon reaching the semi-final but she didn't got a chance to follow up on that performance this year. She was banned along other Belarussian and Russian players which gave her some extended time off following the clay season. Asked about the possibility of it happening again, Sabalenka explained that she's not worried:

"I think I have zero control over this situation. I'm just sitting and waiting for the decision. And whatever happens, happens. If they're going to ban us for another year, okay, whatever, I'm going to have fun at home in Miami, I'm going to spend some time with my family and do another pre-season. Whatever they decide, it's their decision. I don't care about Wimbledon."

She addded:

"I really hope that they will be a little bit more open for us. But as last year showed, they are not really happy with Belarusians and Russians at their event."
