Aryna Sabalenka draws criticism from some fans, who say her off-court activities are taking focus away from tennis. Coverage notes that this comes while she is experiencing a difficult run of results and remains in contention for the world No. 1 ranking.
The reports cite fan reactions tied to various non-tennis projects, including appearance in cover shoots and the launch of a YouTube channel. Some outlets frame the responses as frustration that her public commitments—such as media work and content creation—arrive at a time when her on-court performance is under scrutiny.
While the criticism is presented as coming from her own supporters, the specific emphasis differs across accounts, with the common thread being the perceived timing: fans question whether off-court pursuits affect her training and match preparation during a period when maintaining top form is particularly important for her ranking. The outlets do not present details of any official statements from Sabalenka responding to the backlash.
