"My mindset is to keep doing what I'm doing,
keep fighting, keep working. After my career, to look back and
think, 'whoa, I was able to achieve that. That's crazy,'" said
Sabalenka, who begins her Dubai campaign on Tuesday against
Donna Vekic.
"I'm not the type person that's going to win something and stop.
I'm addicted to wins.
"I feel like it's just something in my blood and I keep doing,
keep working and hopefully keep winning."
Among the most consistent players on the tour, Sabalenka has
reached at least the semi-final stage of the previous six Grand
Slams and she said the decision to drop her psychologist in 2022
has been a key factor in her progress.
"I feel like no one know better yourself than you," she said.
"That was the best decision to start. It's tough to say because
it's been long process.
"In the end, the only one thing helping me is just myself, just
stop expecting people to fix my problems, start fixing my
problems myself. I think that brought much more confidence and
much more control."
