Aryna Sabalenka’s outstanding form in the final months of the 2024 season has propelled her back to the top of the WTA rankings. With victories in three of her last four tournaments—Wuhan, Cincinnati, and the US Open—Sabalenka’s rise was bolstered by Iga Swiatek’s absence and the ranking rules tied to mandatory WTA 500 event commitments.
With her latest triumph in Wuhan, her third title at the event, Sabalenka added yet another accolade to her impressive list of achievements, bringing her career title tally to 17.
