What are the scenarios?

The scenarios between Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek are quite simple on paper but will still be tough for both of them. The players are just 69 points apart and the number 1 spot is up for grabs at the end of 2024.

Both these players have been in incredible form and by the looks of it it looks like they both will be playing the WTA finals in Riyadh to settle the scores. We all know that Swiatek has been in incredible form during the clay season, but it was Sabalenka who dominated the hard-court season to get closer to one of her biggest goals in 2024. 

This will be a battle to watch out for between the two rivals who will be competing for one spot in the next month and we all will be looking forward to seeing them battle it out as we are coming towards the end of the season. This is what is making the WTA scene even more iconic and there is a lot to take in going forward.
