A year ago, Aryna Sabalenko was ranked 2nd in the WTA rankings and hoped to become the world leader thanks to her powerful shots and aggressive style of play. Despite the fact that she “got rid” of Ashley Barty (the Australian unexpectedly retired from tennis at only 25 years old), the athlete from Belarus spent a difficult year in 2022, dropped in the ranking (to 7) and even set a record minus.

Aryna Sabalenko, an incredible number of double faults in 2022

Thus Sabalenka committed 310 double faults in 37 matches played this year (21 wins, 16 losses). This means 78 missed games Arina only because of these mistakes.

In the 1/8 finals of the tournament in Toronto, Sabalenka lost after three hours and 12 minutes of play to American Corey Gauff with a score of 7-5, 4-6, 7-6(4). The 24-year-old served 7 aces (she’s 1.82m and has a serve that causes problems when bringing the court out), but ended the match with 18 double faults.

Missed directly to the second round of the competition in Cincinnati, Aryna Sabalenko (6th seed) will play the winner of the match between Italian Martina Trevisan (26 WTA) and Russian Anna Kalinskaya (69 WTA).
