Stats - Sabalenka hits the forehand harder than anyone else
Aryna Sabalenka is one of the most powerful players on the circuit, if not the most powerful, especially on the forehand.
Very comfortable on the ground, the Belarusian blows away most of her opponents with her powerful stroke. Qualifying for the quarter-finals, a rather crazy statistic corroborates this simple observation.
The world number 2 is quite simply the competitor, men and women combined, who, on average, hits her forehand the hardest (80 miles per hour, or around 129 km/h).
Not even Sinner, Alcaraz or Djokovic did better!
