Belarusian tennis star Aryna Sabalenka continues to reign supreme in the latest WTA rankings, holding firmly onto the No. 1 spot for yet another week. Despite her recent early exit in a WTA 1000 tournament, her consistent performance over the past year has provided her with enough ranking points to keep the top position unchallenged. Sabalenka’s powerful game, coupled with deep runs in Grand Slam tournaments and WTA events, has cemented her status as one of the most dominant players on the women’s circuit in 2025.
Meanwhile, her fellow countrywomen, Victoria Azarenka and Aliaksandra Sasnovich, have not fared as well in the latest rankings update. Both players slipped two spots, with Azarenka now placed at No. 21 and Sasnovich falling to No. 53. The drops come after modest performances in recent tournaments, where both were unable to progress beyond the early rounds. For Azarenka, a former world No. 1 and two-time Australian Open champion, the slip highlights the increasing competitiveness and depth in the women’s game.
Sasnovich, known for her aggressive baseline play, has struggled with consistency this season. Her fall in rankings reflects missed opportunities to advance in mid-tier events, where she was expected to perform better based on previous showings.
The latest rankings underscore a notable shift in momentum among Belarusian players. While Sabalenka continues to soar at the top of the tennis world, Azarenka and Sasnovich face the challenge of regaining form and climbing back up the rankings. With the grass-court season approaching, both veterans will be looking to capitalize on the change in surface and regain their competitive edge.
Elsewhere in the rankings, Iga Świątek remains closely behind Sabalenka in second place, maintaining pressure in what promises to be an exciting battle for the top spot heading into Wimbledon. Elena Rybakina and Coco Gauff also retained their positions within the top five, making the WTA rankings a tightly contested race among the tour’s elite.
With the tennis season heating up and key tournaments on the horizon, all eyes will remain on how long Sabalenka can extend her stay at the top—and whether Azarenka and Sasnovich can bounce back from their recent slide.
