Aryna Sabalenka continues her dominant form in 2025, recently capturing her 19th career title with a win at the Miami Open. The Belarusian defeated fourth seed Jessica Pegula 7-5, 6-2 in the final to secure her second WTA title of the year and strengthen her hold on the world No. 1 ranking.
Her path to the title included impressive victories over seeded players Jasmine Paolini, Qinwen Zheng, and Danielle Collins — even surprising herself with the level of play she maintained throughout the tournament.
