Aryna Sabalenka began her quest for a first WTA Finals title with a victory over Wimbledon runner-up Karolina Muchova on Tuesday, despite struggling with her serve throughout the match.
The world number one secured a winning start at the season-ending tournament in Riyadh, overcoming the Czech player who reached the Wimbledon final earlier this year. Sabalenka's serve was inconsistent, but she managed to prevail in the opening round-robin encounter.
The match took place on November 10, 2026, as Sabalenka looks to add the WTA Finals crown to her growing collection of major titles.
