Aryna Sabalenka started the season in a dominant fashion. She played the Brisbane International and claimed the title by beating Polina Kudermetova in three sets.

But Madison Keys ruined the dream as she prevailed over her in three sets to take home her first Grand Slam title.
Following her Australian Open heartbreak, Sabalenka suffered early exits in the two tournaments on the Middle East Swing. She fell to Ekaterina Alexandrova in her opening match at the Qatar Open and was knocked out of the Dubai Open in the last 16 by 2025 ASB Classic champion Clara Tauson.
Sabalenka then regained her form and produced an impressive performance at Indian Wells, reaching the final to lock horns with Mirra Andreeva. The 17-year-old, who also had won the Dubai Open, came from a set down to claim her second consecutive WTA 1000 title, denying the Belarusian her first singles title in the California desert.

Pegula finally got back to winning ways in her home tournament, the ATX Open in Texas. At Indian Wells, however, Pegula’s campaign was ended by Elina Svitolina in the fourth round. In the second event of the Sunshine Double, Pegula eliminated Bernarda Pera, Anna Kalinskaya, Marta Kostyuk, and Emma Raducanu, before ending 19-year-old Alexandra Eala’s dream run in the semifinals.
