Anna Kalinskaya doesn’t like to party like Aryna Sabalenka
Sabalenka has warmed herself to the fans and the media for her attitudes away from the court with her happy-go-lucky attitude.
Kalinskaya, meanwhile, has revealed she doesn’t like the partying side which comes with the globe-trotting sport.
“I get tired!,” said the Russian star in an interview with First&Red. “Probably that’s one of the biggest reasons why I don’t like it [going to parties].
The Russian star added: “Because I don’t recharge from people. I recharge from my friends, from those I know.”
“I can’t say it gives me more energy. I’m the complete opposite of Aryna [Sabalenka],” the World No. 37 explained. “I would probably like to recharge from this after all, but so far it hasn’t worked for me.”
Kalinskaya won her last match with Sabalenka, after the Belarusian star was forced out with injury during the first set.
