Aryna Sabalenka is widely considered as one of the most interesting upcoming players on tour.

The Belarussian has impressed after she reached the semifinal in Cincinnati after defeating top players such as Karolina Pliskova, Caroline Garcia, and Madison Keys before surrendering to Simona Halep.

Aryna is having another excellent run in New Haven where she is 1 step away from finally winning her maiden title.

Sabalenka achieved this feat after beating Julia Goerges in the semifinal 6-4 7-6 (3).

This is just a mental game. SABALENKA

After the semifinal against the German, Aryna commented

“She’s a great player. It’s really tough to play against her because she’s a big server. Sometimes it’s impossible to take her serve; I mean no chance.

This is just about the mental game. You have to be focused like 100% on every point, sometimes try to find the chance on her serve.”

The final

Aryna will face Carla Suarez Navarro in the final. They have never played each other so far.
