Okay, so the other day I was messing around, trying to figure out something fun to do with all this data I’ve been collecting. And I stumbled upon this idea: What if I could somehow visualize, like, where Aryna Sabalenka, the tennis player, has been all her life? You know, get a sense of her “country,” in a way.

Getting Started
First, I needed to, you know, actually find some basic info. Turns out, it’s pretty easy to get her birthplace. Wikipedia is good for it. I found out that she was born in Minsk, Belarus. That’s my starting point – her “home base,” if you will.
Finding the Story
I remembered reading somewhere, I think it was when I first looked her up, that her dad had something to do with her getting into tennis. He was a hockey player, saw some courts, and thought, “Hey, let’s get Aryna into this!” So, that little story became, like, the first piece of the puzzle. It’s not just about where she was born, but also why she even started playing tennis in the first place.
Putting It All Together
Now I just need to figure how to represent this information in a fun, engaging way. And that is my next step!
