Between March and September, Aryna Sabalenka produced one of the most remarkable streaks in modern tennis, winning 19 tie‑breaks in a row. The achievement set a new Open Era record for the longest tie‑break winning streak by a woman, surpassing the previous mark held by Sloane Stephens, who had won 14 consecutive tie‑breaks between Roland Garros 2015 and Wimbledon 2016. This extraordinary run showcased Sabalenka’s mental strength, precision under pressure and ability to elevate her level in decisive moments.
A season filled with major milestones
Sabalenka’s year was already exceptional before the tie‑break statistic came into focus. She collected more titles than any other player on the women’s tour, earned the highest single‑season prize money in WTA history, captured her fourth Grand Slam trophy and finished the year as world No. 1. These accomplishments reflected a season in which she consistently delivered at the highest level, combining power, athleticism and tactical maturity.
The skill that made the difference
While Sabalenka’s overall game reached new heights, her dominance in tie‑breaks became a defining feature of her season. For eight months, she did not lose a single one, turning every high‑pressure scenario into an opportunity to assert control. Her ability to stay composed, dictate rallies and trust her aggressive style allowed her to close out sets that could have shifted momentum in her opponents’ favor.
A new standard in the Open Era
By winning 19 consecutive tie‑breaks, Sabalenka set a new benchmark for mental resilience and competitive sharpness. The record not only highlights her growth as a player but also cements her place among the most formidable competitors of her generation. As the tour looks ahead, her streak will stand as one of the defining achievements of the season—an illustration of how elite performance under pressure can shape an entire year of success.
