The 2024 Aryna Sabalenka tennis season officially began on 31 December 2023, with the start of the Brisbane International in Brisbane. [3]

Yearly summary

In January, Sabalenka reached the final of the Brisbane International, defeating three seeded opponents: Zhu Lin (third round), Daria Kasatkina (quarterfinal) and Victoria Azarenka (semifinal) [4] before falling to Elena Rybakina [5]

Sabalenka won the 2024 Australian Open without losing a set and became the first woman to defend her title there since Azarenka in 2013. Sabalenka received praise for her consistent and dominant performances throughout the tournament. [6] [7] Notable victories included wins against former world No. 2, Barbora Krejčíková (9th seed), reigning US Open champion Coco Gauff (4th seed) and Zheng Qinwen (12th seed) who was playing in her first Grand Slam final. Gauff had previously defeated Sabalenka a few months prior in the final of the 2023 US Open. In the final itself, she did not commit any double faults, in stark contrast to previous performances at major tournaments. [8]

After less successful appearances in Dubai, Indian Wells, and Miami, she reached the quarterfinals at Stuttgart, where she was eliminated by Markéta Vondroušová. [9] As the defending champion in Madrid, she defeated Magda Linette, Robin Montgomery, Danielle Collins and Mirra Andreeva before edging a three-set semifinal victory over world No. 4 Elena Rybakina. [10] In total, she played four three-set matches to reach the final, dropping 60 games in the process, the most to reach the women’s singles final in Madrid. [10] In the rematch of the previous year's final, she faced Iga Świątek. During an intense three-set battle, Sabalenka had three championship points, but eventually was defeated in three sets [11] In Rome she saved three match points in her fourth-round match against Elina Svitolina, and also endured a lower-back injury before eventually defeating her opponent in three sets. [12] In the quarterfinal, she earned her third WTA Top-10 win of the year by defeating Jeļena Ostapenko. [13] It was followed by a semifinal victory over Danielle Collins, [13] before Sabalenka fell again to Iga Świątek in the final, this time in straight sets. [14]

She entered the French Open as the second seed, and defeated Erika Andreeva, Moyuka Uchijima, Paula Badosa and 22nd seed Emma Navarro in straight sets. [15] In the quarterfinal, she was visibly hampered by stomach issues [16] and lost to Mirra Andreeva in three tight sets. [17] It was the first time in a Grand Slam tournament since 2022 US Open where she did not reach at least the semifinals. With this loss, she fell in the WTA ranking to No. 3.

Sabalenka suffered a right shoulder injury which forced her to retire during her quarterfinal match against Anna Kalinskaya at the 2024 Berlin Ladies Open in June, and she subsequently withdrew from the 2024 Wimbledon Championships having failed to recover in time to play. [18] She won the Cincinnati Open in August, with a win over Jessica Pegula in the final. [19]

In September, Sabalenka won the US Open, overcoming qualifier Priscilla Hon, [20] Lucia Bronzetti, [21] 29th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova, [22] former doubles partner Elise Mertens, [23] Olympic champion and 7th seed Zheng Qinwen [24] and 13th seed Emma Navarro, [25] before defeating sixth seed Jessica Pegula in straight sets in the final to claim her third Grand Slam title. [26] [27]
