SUMMARY
- Aryna Sabalenka raised a lot of eyebrows as she chose to sit out of Qatar Open last week.
- However, as new pictures of Aryna surfaced online, fans speculated that she did it to get her dental work done.
Belarusian star Aryna Sabalenka shocked everyone when she withdrew from the Qatar Open last week. Sabalenka has been one of the most consistent players on the tour; therefore, this decision raised eyebrows. Now, fans think she had a good reason for it, as she showed off her new dental crown with a blinding smile.
Sabalenka kicked off her season on a positive note. She made it to the finals of the Brisbane International, where she lost to Elena Rybakina. Aryna then went into the Australian Open as the defending champion and successfully defended her crown. She became only the second player after Victoria Azarenka to win the silverware in Melbourne in two consecutive years.
Sabalenka has been in dominant form, winning eleven out of twelve matches played so far. Given her momentum, many expected Aryna to carry it to Doha, but she earned her rest. Additionally, she got dental work done on her incisors, and she looked very happy.

The new pictures have surfaced on social media, and fans are in awe of Aryna’s beauty. Some fans took the humorous route too, stating that she had the money from the Australian Open to splurge.
While the crown may be a little bright at the moment, it will fade over time. One fan speculated that this was “the real reason she withdrew from Doha.” Here are a few reactions to the pictures.
I’d do the same. They look great on her and the brightness will fade over time. She is going to feel much more confident smiling!

Aryna Sabalenka enjoyed her time off after the first Grand Slam of the season. Like many other tennis stars, Sabalenka also got to enjoy Valentine’s Day with a special gift.
Aryna Sabalenka flaunts her Valentine’s Day gift
The world No. 2 has been in a relationship with Konstantin Koltsov since 2021. The two never shy away from expressing their love for each other, and this Valentine’s Day was no different.
Konstantin got a special gift for Aryna: a tiger-themed gold necklace from Cartier. Sabalenka took to social media to show off her gift and took a light jab at her beau too, as she had a successful Valentine’s Day but he did not.
Aryna Sabalenka will return to the courts very soon, as she is set to compete at the Dubai Open. She will hope to carry forward her dominant run to the Middle East as well.
