There was a point during Aryna Sabalenka's career where she wondered why fans would approach her and ask for an autograph.
Speaking after winning the Australian Open women's final on Saturday night, Sabalenka explained her bemusement at the time was all to do with what she thought about herself as a player.
"I always had this weird feeling that when people would come to me and ask for a signature, I would be like, 'Why are you asking for signature?'" she said.
