Aryna Sabalenka qualifies for WTA Finals

Aryna Sabalenka has qualified for the 2026 WTA Finals in Indian Wells, securing her place at the season-ending tournament for a sixth consecutive year.

The Belarusian becomes the second singles player to qualify for this year's event after Elena Rybakina. Sabalenka earned her place based on her results throughout the 2026 season, which include her three titles and five finals.

Sabalenka won the Brisbane International at the start of the year before claiming back-to-back WTA 1000 titles in Indian Wells and Miami. She also reached the finals of the Australian Open and US Open.

The 28-year-old has finished as runner-up at the WTA Finals twice, in 2022 and 2025. She will now return to Indian Wells looking to go one step further and win the biggest title she has yet to claim.

The 2026 WTA Finals will take place from November 8 to 15 at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, with the world's top eight singles players competing for the title.
