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 Victoria Azarenka in the semifinals,[4] before losing the championship match to Elena Rybakina.[5]

Sabalenka won the Australian Open without losing a set and became the first woman to defend her title there since Victoria Azarenka in 2013.[6][7] She defeated 12th seed Zheng Qinwen in the final,[8][9] having overcome Ella Seidel,[10] Brenda Fruhvirtová,[11] 28th seed Lesia Tsurenko,[12] Amanda Anisimova,[13] ninth seed Barbora Krejčíková [14] and fourth seed Coco Gauff[15] in the earlier rounds.

She reached the quarterfinals at Stuttgart, where she was eliminated by Markéta Vondroušová.[16] As the defending champion in Madrid, she defeated Magda Linette,[17] Robin Montgomery,[18] Danielle Collins[19] and Mirra Andreeva,[20] before edging an epic three-set semifinal victory over world No. 4, Elena Rybakina.[21] 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.[21] In a rematch of the previous year's final, she faced Iga Świątek. Sabalenka had three championship points during the match, but eventually lost.[22] In Rome, she saved three match points in her fourth-round match against Elina Svitolina and endured a lower-back injury before defeating her opponent in three sets.[23] In the quarterfinal, she earned her third WTA top-10 win of the year by defeating Jeļena Ostapenko.[24] It was followed by a semifinal victory over Danielle Collins,[24] before Sabalenka fell again to Iga Świątek in the final, this time in straight sets.[25]

She entered the French Open as the second seed, and defeated Erika Andreeva,[26] Moyuka Uchijima,[27] Paula Badosa[28] and 22nd seed Emma Navarro in straight sets.[29] In the quarterfinal, she was hampered by stomach issues[30] and lost to Mirra Andreeva in three sets.[31] With this loss, she fell in the WTA ranking to No. 3.[citation needed]

Sabalenka suffered a right shoulder injury that forced her to retire during her quarterfinal match against Anna Kalinskaya at the Berlin Ladies Open in June[32] and she withdrew from the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, having failed to recover in time to play.[33] She won the Cincinnati Open in August, with victories over Iga Świątek in the semifinals[34] and Jessica Pegula in the final.[35]

In September, Sabalenka won the US Open, overcoming qualifier Priscilla Hon,[36] Lucia Bronzetti,[37] 29th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova,[38] former doubles partner Elise Mertens,[39] Olympic champion and seventh seed Zheng Qinwen[40] and 13th seed Emma Navarro,[41] before defeating sixth seed Jessica Pegula in straight sets in the final to claim her third major title.[42][43]

Sabalenka continued her great form at the China Open in Beijing, where she defeated Mananchaya Sawangkaew,[44] Ashlyn Krueger[45] and Madison Keys all in straight sets to increase her winning streak to 15 matches.[46] Sabalenka lost in the quarterfinals to Karolína Muchová in three sets.[47]

At the Wuhan Open, where she won back-to-back in 2018 and 2019, before the tournament was suspended due to COVID-19 from 2020 until 2023, Sabalenka defeated Kateřina Siniaková in straight sets in her opening match.[48] In the next round, she came back from a set down against Yulia Putintseva to advance to the quarterfinals,[49] where she defeated Magdalena Fręch.[50] Sabalenka faced fourth seed Coco Gauff in the semifinals, mounting a comeback from a set and a break down to the reach final for the third time.[51] In the final, she defeated fifth seed Zheng Qinwen in three sets to lift her third Wuhan Open title and her second WTA 1000 for the 2024 season.[52]

After 11 months off the top in October, she regained the WTA world No.1 ranking.[53] Following wins against Zheng Qinwen[54]and Jasmine Paolini in her first two group matches at the WTA Finals,[55] combined with Iga Świątek's loss to Coco Gauff, Sabalenka for the first time would finish the year as No. 1.[56] Sabalenka lost her last group match to Elena Rybakina[57] and was defeated by Gauff in the semifinals.[58]

In December, Sabalenka was named WTA Player of the Year.[59][60]
