Rennae Stubbs, former coach of Serena Williams, spoke about Aryna Sabalenka's season during her podcast, The Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast.

Although she finished the 2025 season as the world number one, the Belarusian failed twice in Grand Slam finals: at the Australian Open and at Roland-Garros.

Stubbs states: "She reached the summit by becoming world number one two years in a row; the consistency she showed this year was simply exceptional.

But with only one major title to her name, the US Open, I would say she would consider her year a relative failure.

She was so dominant, the best player of the year, and reached every final she played in.

I think she was very disappointed with her losses in the Australian Open final, the Wimbledon semi-final, the Roland-Garros final, and the WTA Finals.

I think for such a dominant player, the disappointment is immense for not having won more Grand Slam titles this year.

Sabalenka Aryna

1e, 10870 points

she was dominant apart from that Feb-March period where she lost early in a tournament or two i remember but she still needs to improve when playing finals especially the big one's if she wants to enter in double digits with slams

That's ridiculous," Johnson says about the Sabalenka vs. Kyrgios matchup

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
