‘Worst dancer’ world No.1 dazzles crowd after win
Over the years, Aryna Sabalenka has become well known for her TikTok dances.
Most of the time it’s with her coaches but after her first round win at the Australian Open, she shared a dance with former Aussie tennis player, Jelena Dokic, instead.
Sabalenka defied some frustrating moments on Rod Laver Arena when she defeated former US Open champion Sloane Stephens 6-3, 6-2.

“Now they have the proof I’m the worst dancer,” Sabalenka said on Nine.
“I didn’t know how this was going to go so I think we’re going to go viral,” Dokic added.
“I hope it’s for all the right things … that was good. But I have to go to the physio.”
