Jimmy Connors has voiced concern over what he sees as a worrying pattern of distractions undermining Aryna Sabalenka's form. The world No. 2 has failed to claim a title since March, suffering a string of deflating losses that have raised questions about her focus.
Sabalenka bristled at suggestions she had been partying ahead of her US Open title defence - a campaign that ended abruptly with defeat to Elena Rybakina. The loss only intensified scrutiny of the Belarusian's off-court habits.
Connors argued that outside influences have a way of seeping into practice sessions and, ultimately, match performance. It is a trap, he warned, that even elite players struggle to avoid once distractions take hold.
Sabalenka now turns her attention to the 1000-level WTA Tour event in Wuhan next week, a tournament carrying significant weight for those chasing qualification for the WTA Finals at Indian Wells in November. A deep run could silence the doubters - anything less will only amplify them.
