Hits 9% more winners than anyone else in the WTA top 20 — while now sitting mid-pack in errors.
Stat Man's Verdict
Stat Man's take: Sabalenka hits the ball like it owes her money, but the story of her No. 1 reign is restraint — the unforced error count dropped 30% while the winner count stayed nuclear. The tiger tattoo is on the forearm; the discipline is new, and it's why she's on top.
