Tennis players often withdraw from tournaments for various reasons, and Aryna Sabalenka‘s recent withdrawal from the Qatar Open has sparked curiosity. Rather than due to injury, Sabalenka’s absence seems to be related to dental work.

Recent photographs reveal Sabalenka with noticeably brighter, possibly newly crowned teeth. Her smile appears more confident than before, suggesting successful dental treatment.

Despite missing the Qatar Open, Sabalenka’s year began triumphantly with her second Grand Slam title at the Australian Open. While she briefly held the world number one ranking in 2023, she currently stands at number two, just behind Iga Swiatek.
