World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka Ready for Australian Open 2025 Glory with Hat-Trick in Mind
World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka is enjoying life as she started the year by winning the 2025 Brisbane International title and is now eyeing to bag her third Australian Open title.
For Aryna Sabalenka, the beginning of 2025 brought with it a monumental achievement as she entered the new season as the World No.1. This marks a significant milestone in her career, as the Belarusian star secured the top spot for the first time. Despite a strong run in 2023, where she came close to dethroning Iga Swiatek from the No.1 position during the US Open, it was Swiatek who ultimately regained her top ranking after winning the WTA Finals. However, Sabalenka’s incredible consistency in 2024 allowed her to solidify her position as the WTA’s top player by the year’s end.
Sabalenka’s road to World No.1
Sabalenka’s rise to the top of women’s tennis has been nothing short of impressive. In 2023, she claimed two Grand Slam titles, the Australian Open and the US Open, cementing her place among the game’s elite.
A dominant start to 2025 with Brisbane International victory
Entering 2025 as the World No.1, Sabalenka continued to impress, clinching the Brisbane International title in commanding fashion. The Belarusian powerhouse powered through her early matches without losing a set, defeating Renata Zarazua, Yulia Putintseva, Marie Bouzkova, and Mirra Andreeva.
Challenges Ahead: Sabalenka’s pursuit of perfection
While the titles continue to accumulate, Sabalenka has set high standards for herself. Aware of the mental and physical demands of the 2025 season, she remains focused on improving her game.
