Aryna Sabalenka and the story about her tiger tattoo

Aryna has tiger tattooed on her arm that reflex her aggressive attitude on court. During a recent interview with the Tennis Channel, Sabalenka revealed the story about that tattoo

“I think I was 18 years old and my parents didn’t know, and when they saw it the first time my dad was laughing, I don’t know why, but my mom didn’t talk to me for one week, and then she said like ‘I hope it’s the first in the last one’ and I said ‘look
mama the first one and the last one’ and then I turned out I said ‘I hopefully,’ but I don’t know I just make it.

Sometimes in the court, it reminds me that you need to fight for each point.”

Aryna was also born in the year of the tiger, therefore that could be an extra explanation.
