Aryna Sabalenka
A power-based WTA champion whose grass-court growth has made her more than a baseline hitter.
Tournament note
Beat Jelena Ostapenko 6-4 6-4 on Centre Court, a clean result in a matchup between two aggressive ball-strikers.
Aryna Sabalenka is built around pressure: heavy serve, heavy forehand, and a willingness to take control before rallies settle. Her best tennis can make the court feel smaller for opponents because so many points begin with a strike that demands an answer.
On grass, Sabalenka's continued development is about adding shape and variety to raw power. Wimbledon 2026 has highlighted that evolution: she can still win through force, but she is increasingly comfortable using touch, transition shots, and first-serve placement to manage risk.
