Serbian tennis player shares his experience with the Belarusian.

Belarusian tennis player Arina Sobolenko admitted that sparring with Novak Djokovic made her stronger - physically and psychologically. According to the world number one, after such sessions, matches at WTA tournaments no longer seem exhausting, RFI reported.

"Novak is always open to communication. You can ask anything - he will definitely share his experience. In training with him the pace is unbelievable: after such sessions you feel that you can withstand any match. That's probably why I don't feel tired during the games with my opponents - the intensity level is just different," Sobolenko said.

The tennis player added that even after reaching the top of the rankings she continues to work on herself and sees where to grow further.

"I need to go to the net more often, feel the ball closer to the court. I want to improve my game at the net and improve my shots - there is something to work on in almost every element," said Arina.
