What will happen on the WTA Tour for the first time in over four years after Aryna Sabalenka’s WTA Finals exit
Aryna Sabalenka concluded her 2026 campaign following a three-set loss to Mirra Andreeva at the WTA Finals, which prevented her from reaching the semi-finals. This elimination means Sabalenka will slip out of the top two spots in the global rankings for the first time since August 2024, while Elena Rybakina secures the year-end top ranking despite her own withdrawal from the tournament.
Additionally, Sabalenka's defeat marks her longest title drought since 2022, having gone twelve consecutive tournaments without raising a trophy since her victory at the Miami Open.
