How they play

Aryna Sabalenka won her first Grand Slam singles title at the 2023 Australian Open and reached world No. 1 later that year. The powerful attacker also owns major titles in doubles.

The force of her serve and first groundstroke can dominate a point almost immediately. When the attack wavers, she tends to reset contact point and target while maintaining pressure rather than simply retreating.
