Aryna Sabalenka: Fresh Off Her US Open Win – Only on Welcome to the Party!

From center court to center stage, she’s rolling straight from Saturday’s win into today’s party — and we get the front-row seat. 2-Time US Open champion Aryna Sabalenka joins Abby Wambach, Billie Jean King, and Julie Foudy fresh off defending her crown in New York — the first woman since Serena Williams in 2014 to pull it off. Welcome to the Party gets the inside scoop on how Aryna is redefining power tennis-- what sportscaster Mary Carillo termed "Big Babe Tennis"-- and how she turned Slam heartbreaks into fuel, went from not being ready for the fight to bringing it when everything was on the line, and why learning to control her emotions was the key to breaking through. So pull up a chair and pop the cork — the US Open champ just rolled into the party. Show Notes: A huge thank you to our presenting sponsor Ally - the bank that’s your ally.
