The fact that demonstrates Sabalenka's hegemony in the WTA

This is how Sabalenka has narrowed the distance to Swiatek in the WTA throne.

For a long time, Iga Swiatek reigned in the WTA. She did so with such sufficiency and an ability to overwhelm her rivals that projected a long-lasting reign. Then came Aryna Sabalenka, elevating her game while the Polish player went through a minor crisis... and since then, she has de facto claimed the throne of the circuit. The stats support this: since mid-2024, when Swiatek suffered those tough defeats in the Olympics and Cincinnati, the Belarusian has rapidly closed the gap in major titles with her opponent, now being only two Grand Slams and one WTA 1000 away from Iga (up to that point, the difference was two Slams and five WTA 1000 titles). And that gap seems only to be diminishing... Can Swiatek stop her?
