Aryna Sabalenka has all the weapons to win a Grand Slam but the Belarusian needs to strike a balance between unleashing the power and opting for the safer shot, former world number four Jelena Dokic said.Sabalenka, 23, has won 10 titles on the WTA Tour and reached consecutive major semi-finals at Wimbledo

Aryna Sabalenka has all the weapons to win a Grand Slam but the Belarusian needs to strike a balance between unleashing the power and opting for the safer shot, former world number four Jelena Dokic said.

She won 45 matches in 2021, picked up two titles at Abu Dhabi and Madrid and rose to a career-high ranking of second. "But I think for her it's about balance. It's about, at times, pulling back from what her natural instinct is, and harnessing those weapons in the right way. Even taking 20per cent off her groundstrokes, she would still hit massive shots."

Dokic said Sabalenka had a tendency to resort to power when under pressure, which contributes to her error count.
