In the YouTube video “Aryna Sabalenka Signs Her Trainer’s Head For Luck | 2024 Roland Garros Fourth Round,” Sabalenka talks about her recent success with the drop shot in her tennis game. She admits that she previously lacked trust in the shot but has been practicing to improve her touch.

She initiated this tradition at the Australian Open and has continued it throughout her competition. Before leaving the court, Sabalenka signs an autograph for the camera, expressing that it’s the only thing keeping her going into another week of play.
