After becoming the world number one for the second time in her career, three-time Grand Slam champion Aryna Sabalenka said, "Let's see for how long this time." She replaced five-time Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek to regain the top spot. Sabalenka recently won the Wuhan Open, defeating Zheng Qinwen in the final. She had also won the 2024 Australian Open.
