Aryna Sabalenka is in fantastic form this year with a great 20-6 win-loss record. The Belarusian sensation reached the 3rd round in Madrid after beating Vera Zvonareva 6-1 6-2 and Daria Kasatkina 6-3 6-3.
This performance allowed Aryna to go one place up in the live rankings to be the new world no.6. Sabalenka cannot lose this position at the end of the tournament since the next player in the rankings that is still alive is Petra Kvitova who cannot overtake Sabalenka in the rankings even if she wins the tournament in Madrid.
Aryna can even become the new world number 4 from next Monday if she wins the tournament in Spain. In that case, Sabalenka will have 6195 points vs. Sofia Kenin’s 5905.
