Aryna Sabalenka, the world No. 1, has achieved a remarkable milestone after her victory over Jessica Pegula in the Miami Open final on Saturday (7-5, 6-2). She has become only the fourth player since 2000 to win the Miami title while holding the top WTA ranking.
This prestigious achievement was previously attained by Martina Hingis (2000), Serena Williams (2003, 2013-15), and Ashleigh Barty (2021).
In addition to her Miami triumph, Sabalenka has also topped the WTA tour in terms of time spent on court this season. She has accumulated 40 hours and 6 minutes, surpassing Mirra Andreeva to become the tour leader in this statistic.
