Aryna Sabalenka to Skip WTA Events for Health, Citing 'Insane' Schedule

World number one tennis player Aryna Sabalenka plans to skip some tournaments this season to prioritize her health, despite potential sanctions from the WTA. She described the current 11-month season as 'insane,' leading to injuries and exhaustion. Sabalenka noted that mandatory event rules are difficult to navigate, and while she expects fines or ranking point deductions, she believes protecting her body is crucial. Other top players, like Iga Swiatek, have also faced penalties for similar workload management.
