Aryna Sabalenka's 2024 tennis season was a dominant hard-court campaign, beginning with a runner-up finish in Brisbane before she successfully defended her Australian Open title in January, becoming the first woman to win back-to-back titles there since Victoria Azarenka in 2013, with a straight-sets final win over Zheng Qinwen. On clay, she reached finals in Madrid and Rome but lost both to Iga Świątek, while her French Open ended in a quarterfinal loss to Mirra Andreeva due to stomach issues. A right shoulder injury forced her to withdraw from Wimbledon, but she bounced back in August by winning the Cincinnati Open and then captured her third major title at the US Open in September, defeating Jessica Pegula in the final. She continued her momentum into Asia, winning the Wuhan Open in October and regaining the world No. 1 ranking. After securing wins in her first two matches at the WTA Finals, she officially clinched the year-end No. 1 ranking for the first time in her career, capping off a remarkable season of resilience and triumph.
