Following her impressive victory at the WTA 1000 Miami Open presented by Itaú, Aryna Sabalenka has claimed the number one position in the PIF Race to the WTA Finals Leaderboard.
The 26-year-old tennis star has had a remarkable season, reaching four finals already. Her achievements include winning the WTA 500 Brisbane International presented by Evie and finishing as runner-up at both the Australian Open and the WTA 1000 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
