Victory & Advocacy

Aryna Sabalenka, the #1 women’s tennis player, and her fitness coach Jason Stacy celebrated major wins at the Cincinnati Open and the US Open 2024. Beyond their on-court success, Sabalenka has spoken out on an important issue: men competing in women’s sports.

Sabalenka Speaks Out

In a recent interview with Piers Morgan previewing her “Battle of the Sexes” match with Nick Kyrgios, Sabalenka said:

“I feel like they [have] a huge advantage over women. I think it’s just not fair for women to face [a] biological man. It’s not fair, women work their whole life to reach her limit and then she has to face a man, who biologically is much stronger. I don’t agree with this sort of stuff in sport.”

She echoed the sentiment of Tennis GOAT Martina Navratilova, a friend of the brand, who has long advocated for female athletes.

The Coach Behind the Strength

Jason Stacy, Sabalenka’s fitness coach, has been instrumental in developing her on-court power and endurance through rigorous strength and physiotherapy training. He has supported her as a female athlete at the top of her game during a period of explosive growth in women’s sports.

Wearing the Brand with Pride

At the Cincinnati Open last August, Stacy wore our logo trucker hat as a simple act of support for biological reality, which sparked viral online chatter.

He repeated the gesture at the US Open in September, with Sabalenka showing her support once again, proving that standing for women’s sports is more than just words—it’s action.
