Former professional tennis player CoCo Vandeweghe recently declared that world number one Aryna Sabalenka holds a distinct edge over her competitors on the WTA Tour. As Sabalenka prepares for the upcoming WTA Finals, her commanding presence in women’s tennis continues to draw attention following a semifinal exit at the Wuhan Open.
In her first tournament since clinching the US Open title last month, Sabalenka fell to Jessica Pegula in the Wuhan Open semifinals. Pegula, in turn, was defeated by Coco Gauff in the final. Despite the loss, Sabalenka’s recent achievements underscore her dominance. The Belarusian star successfully defended her US Open crown in New York, overcoming Amanda Anisimova in this year’s final after beating Pegula in the 2024 championship match, securing her fourth career Grand Slam title.
Vandeweghe’s comments highlight Sabalenka’s formidable form as she heads into the WTA Finals, where she remains a top contender to add to her impressive record.
