Aryna Sabalenka's Tiger Tattoo: A Reflection of Her "Aggressive" Tennis Game
Tattoo's Meaning
Belarusian tennis player Aryna Sabalenka's fierce-looking tiger tattoo on her inner left forearm is a symbol of her aggressive attitude on the court. She revealed the meaning behind the tattoo in an interview with the Tennis Channel in 2019.
Aggressive Style
"The tiger tattoo is a reflection of my aggressive style of play," Sabalenka explained. "I like to be the one who is attacking and dictating the pace of the game. I think the tiger is a perfect representation of that."
No Regrets
Sabalenka got the tattoo as a teenager without telling her parents. "I just went for it," she said. "I didn't think too much about it. I just knew that I wanted a tiger." Despite her parents' initial surprise, Sabalenka has no regrets about getting the tattoo.
