Sabalenka aims to keep her emotions in check in bid for first WTA Finals crown

KEEPING CALM THE 'BIGGEST LESSON'

Aryna Sabalenka says learning to control her emotions has been her biggest lesson this season and she will be looking to channel that calmness in her bid for a maiden WTA Finals crown in Riyadh.

The 27-year-old Belarusian has secured the year-end No. 1 ranking for a second consecutive season, thanks to a strong 2025 campaign that saw her clinch four titles from eight finals reached.

After suffering heartbreaking defeats in the finals of the Australian Open and Roland Garros, Sabalenka rebounded by lifting a fourth Grand Slam trophy at the US Open in September.

“There was terrible control over my emotions,” said Sabalenka, looking back at her losses to Madison Keys in Melbourne and Coco Gauff in Paris.
