Aryna Sabalenka, the World No 3 from Belarus is lately going through some uneven path in winning matches. In Round 32, she whitewashed the Chinese, S. Zhang with starting healthy leads. Aryna lastly played Madrid Open 2022, there she failed in both Singles and Doubles. She was defeated by Amanda Anisimova in a roller coaster of three sets. Whereas in Doubles, she paired up with her favourite colleague, Badosa but both got eliminated early in round 32. Sabalenka recently played her second Stuttgart finals but unfortunately, could not hold her title for the second time.
Jessica Pegula has lately improved her play very much. She was the finalist of the AO 2022 followed by a quarterfinalist in the doubles of the Dubai Championship. Her pair, Coco Gauff and she are pretty strong women’s doubles right now. Jessica advanced to the semifinal in early April in the Miami Open but was defeated by Iga. She is the finalist of this year’s Madrid Open where she destroyed Ons Janeur in the second set. Her last Italian Open match was quite tough as she faced Samsonova to come back from one set down to win the match.
