Aryna Sabalenka has enjoyed a stellar 2023 and the Belarusian will head into the season-ending WTA Finals on Sunday in Cancun, Mexico, aiming to fend off Iga Swiatek and secure the year-end world number one ranking.
Australian Open champion Sabalenka leapfrogged four-time major winner Swiatek and claimed the top ranking for the first time after the U.S. Open last month. She is in control of her destiny heading into the finale.
"It's a super-great season, I think the best season in my life so far," Sabalenka told reporters. "Hopefully this is just the beginning: with every year I'll play better and the results will be better. I'll use this year as a motivation for me to keep working hard, to keep pushing and see where is my limit are."
A final charge could help Swiatek - who trails Sabalenka by 630 points - reclaim the number one spot, but the Polish player said she would not dwell on that. Joining the mix are U.S. Open champion Coco Gauff and fellow American Jessica Pegula, who are also partners in the doubles competition.
