She's held the world No. 1 ranking for 107 weeks and closed two straight seasons at the top, a Belarusian power player who turned Grand Slam finals into a habit - four major singles titles and counting, with the 2024 and 2025 US Opens both hers.

About this person
Sabalenka broke through in 2017 when she and Aliaksandra Sasnovich carried Belarus to a Fed Cup final as unranked outsiders, then climbed to world No. 11 by 2018. She reached major semifinals in 2021 and cracked the top two, but couldn't hold the form through 2022. The Australian Open in 2023 gave her a first major singles title and the No. 1 ranking for the first time. She defended that crown in 2024, added the US Open, and finished the year on top, then held No. 1 wire-to-wire through 2025 despite falling short in Melbourne and Paris. In 2026 she reached two more major finals and swept the Sunshine Double at Indian Wells and Miami, capping it with the Laureus Award for Sportswoman of the Year. Her doubles run with Elise Mertens - the 2019 US Open, the 2021 Australian Open, and a No. 1 ranking in the discipline - ended when she committed to singles exclusively.
