Which actor should play Aryna Sabalenka in her biopic? Tennis stars pick their favourite artists

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka took a long pause before answering.

Wimbledon 2025 is now in its final stages, with the quarter-finals set to begin on July 8. The sequence of upsets has continued, making this year’s event the most unpredictable one in recent tennis history.

Two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is raising his level with each passing round. While in the women’s category, a new champion is set to be crowned for the eighth consecutive time.

Wimbledon, the most prestigious tournament on the tennis calendar, continues to discover innovative ways to connect players with their fans through creative initiatives and engaging content.

Earlier, we saw players reveal their favorite school subjects, but this time, they faced an even trickier question. If a biopic were to be made about them, which actor or actress would they choose to portray their story on screen?

Last year, finalist Jasmine Paolini picked a popular choice, Tom Cruise. The American actor has received various accolades, including the prestigious Palme d’Or and three Golden Globe Awards.

However, the Italian hilariously adds that the only reason she chose Cruise is because he attended the Wimbledon final last year. The selection of Holger Rune was not surprising, as the Danish chose American actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who closely resembles Rune.

DiCaprio is the recipient of several prestigious awards, including an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, and three Golden Globe Awards. Rune seems to be a fan of ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ movie, which has inspired his actor selection.

Two-time Wimbledon finalist was straight to the point, naming former English footballer David Beckham, who recently was spotted at the Royal Box on Day 1 of the All England Club Championship. Talented Brazilian tennis player João Fonseca believes his fellow musician Felipe Dylon looks like him and would be a perfect fit for the role.

Reigning Roland Garros winner Coco Gauff wishes Ayo Edebiri to play her biopic and hails the American’s appearance in ‘The Bear’ movie, which was released in 2022. Meanwhile, Matteo Berrettini and Mira Andreeva, without hesitation, chose Christian Bale and Emma Stone, respectively, to play them on screen.

The reel fittingly concludes with World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, who takes a long pause but struggles to come up with a name. Fortunately for the Belarusian, the host offers a helpful prompt, suggesting the stunning American actress Margot Robbie, recently seen in the popular Barbie movie. Sabalenka immediately agrees with the choice, almost without hesitation.
