Training video of the two top women's tennis players in the world, Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek, goes viral.

Aryna Sabalenka has addressed the recent controversy surrounding Iga Swiatek‘s doping violation, claiming people are often “used to overreacting” in such situations.

Before departing for Australia to officially kick off the 2025 tennis season, Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek shared the court for a practice session over the weekend in Abu Dhabi.

in late November, the ITIA announced that the five-time Grand Slam champion accepted a one-month ban after testing positive for trimetazidine (TMZ). However, they underlined that the investigation determined that the Pole's explanation was valid and that her positive doping test was caused by the contamination of melatonin.

Aryna Sabalenka, the world No. 1, has given a measured response to Iga Swiatek's one-month doping ban. Swiatek, the world No. 2 and five-time Grand Slam champion, tested positive for a banned substance but was found to have "no significant fault or negligence" after proving contamination via melatonin medication.

When responding to questions about chief rival Iga Swiatek's doping violation, Aryna Sabakenka claimed people are "used to overreacting".
