The greatest people have an inherent stubbornness. Victoria Azarenka’s relentless work ethic, unshakable belief, and unwavering commitment propelled her to 21 career titles and the position of World No. 1.
However, those who are genuinely obstinate and wholly dedicated to achieving their goals also understand that things need to change from time to time. Without the player’s fault, the formula that has made them successful may lose favor. Azarenka, who is currently 34 years old and ranked No. 27, is prepared to face uncertainty.
“Success makes you quite conservative,” Azarenka said in Dubai to WTA Insider. It’s something you most likely rely on, something you’ve discovered, and something that has proven effective. Then everything is different. Balls, surfaces, players, and game styles all altered as the sport’s physicality changed.”
I can beat 90% of players at my old game using what I’ve learned and my experience if you have an open mind and can apply that objective criticism. However, 10% of them are found in the later phases of competitions. How can I defeat those? What abilities do I need?
In my opinion, that’s something I genuinely strive to comprehend and break down the barriers between my knowledge my expertise, and conservatism. It frightens me. It’s not simple, as it’s one thing to know it thoroughly and quite another to be brave enough to go out on that understanding.
