World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka has been amazingly consistent in 2025. After defeating Elina Svitolina in the Mutua Madrid Open semifinals on Thursday, Sabalenka advanced to her sixth WTA final this season.
That may not sound like many to the untrained tennis fan. However, that is three more than her closest competitor, Jessica Pegula, and four more than the others in the running: Madison Keys, Jelena Ostapenko, and Mirra Andreeva.
