Should you copy this setup?
Sabalenka's setup suits strong, aggressive players who hit flat and generate their own pace. The Blade 98 is a popular, accessible control frame. Luxilon Alu Power is a stiff, control-oriented poly — best for players with fast swing speeds. Try it at 22–24 kg (48–53 lbs).

Pinpoint
Sabalenka is the most powerful ball-striker in the women's game. Her flat, explosive groundstrokes are hit with enormous pace from both wings, and her serve is among the biggest on the WTA tour.
She plays a high-risk, high-reward style — taking the ball early and going for winners rather than rallying. When her timing is on, few players can live with the pace; her game is built on first-strike aggression.
How her equipment supports her style: The Wilson Blade 98 is a control-oriented frame that helps keep her enormous power in the court. A full Luxilon Alu Power setup gives the control and durability needed for her flat, heavy hitting.
