A two-time Grand Slam finalist, winner in Miami and Madrid, and now the US Open champion, Sabalenka has shown impressive consistency on the tour this season.
These performances have undeniably confirmed her status as world number 1, as evidenced by her WTA ranking points (9,610 points). For comparison, her closest rival Swiatek has 2,077 fewer points (7,533 points).
As a result, the Belarusian has practically secured her status as the world's best player by the end of the season. She will still need to defend a quarterfinal in Beijing and a title in Wuhan, among others. (She was eliminated in the group stage of the WTA Finals.)
