World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka continues to etch her name into tennis history, achieving a remarkable milestone that places her alongside some of the sport’s greatest icons.
With her latest victory at the Miami Open, the Belarusian star has matched a rare record previously accomplished by only a select few, including US legend Serena Williams.
Dominant run continues in Miami
Sabalenka extended her red-hot form with a commanding 6-4, 6-2 win over Caty McNally, securing her place in the fourth round of the Miami Open for the second consecutive year.
The victory not only underlined her dominance but also marked her 14th consecutive win across the prestigious “Sunshine Double” tournaments—Indian Wells and Miami.
Fresh off her maiden Indian Wells triumph, where she edged past Elena Rybakina in a dramatic final, Sabalenka has carried that momentum seamlessly into Miami.
Joining an elite club
With this winning streak, Sabalenka has now become just the third woman in history to achieve 14 consecutive victories across Indian Wells and the Miami Open. She joins the legendary Monica Seles and Serena Williams in this exclusive club.
Seles first accomplished the feat in the early 1990s, while Serena Williams later replicated similar dominance during her illustrious career. Matching such a record places Aryna Sabalenka firmly among the sport’s elite performers.
Eyes on greater history
While the milestone itself is significant, Sabalenka’s ambitions extend even further. The 25-year-old is now chasing a place in an even more exclusive group—players who have completed the “Sunshine Double” by winning both Indian Wells and the Miami Open in the same season.
Her current form suggests she is well-positioned to challenge for the title, with her powerful baseline game proving difficult for opponents to counter.
A defining phase of Aryna Sabalenka's career
Sabalenka’s consistency and mental resilience have been key to her recent success. Winning 14 consecutive matches across two of the biggest tournaments on the calendar is no small feat, and it highlights her evolution into a dominant force on the WTA Tour.
As the Miami Open progresses, all eyes will remain on Aryna Sabalenka as she looks to convert this historic run into an even greater achievement.
