Aryna Sabalenka will aim to reinforce her status as the world's top player by winning her first WTA Finals title in Riyadh as the season finale gets underway on Saturday with all four of the year's Grand Slam champions featuring in a strong field.

The Belarusian exemplified consistency in 2025 and arrives for the November 1-8 tournament having retained her U.S. Open title in September, after finishing runner-up to Madison Keys at the Australian Open and Coco Gauff at Roland Garros.

The only Grand Slam final she failed to reach was at Wimbledon, where Iga Swiatek defeated Amanda Anisimova.

"It's easier when you qualify early in the season but I'm super excited," said Sabalenka, who punched her ticket to the WTA Finals in July.
