World No 1 has won four and lost four grand slam finals but manner of some of those defeats raises questions
An hour after another excruciating loss in a significant final, Aryna Sabalenka was asked about her record in grand slam finals. She responded by lamenting the fact that she had lost the majority of those she had played. She was mistaken. Her bitter defeat by Elena Rybakina in the Australian Open final on Saturday left her with a 4-4 record in major finals, a poor but not ruinous record. However, considering how many great opportunities she has let pass her by over the past few years, it made perfect sense that, in Sabalenka’s mind, she is already a dozen defeats down.
The Belarusian continues to compile a fascinating career. So few players in the history of the sport have put themselves in position to compete for the biggest titles as frequently as Sabalenka. She has reached five of the past six grand slam finals and eight overall.
