\u2018The bad thing this season is that I\u2026\u2019: Aryna Sabalenka<\/p>\n

She will now go on a vacation to the Maldives. She said, “Sometimes players are just better on the day than you. The good thing is that I\u2019m always there. The bad thing this season is that I lost most of the biggest finals I made. So I guess I\u2019ll just sit back in the Maldives having my probably tequila and think back and try to analyze my behavior, my emotions.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Rybakina said, “It was an amazing atmosphere to play here. I\u2019ve really enjoyed it \u2014 it\u2019s my second year in a row \u2014 and it\u2019s just so special to be back. Thank you to the Saudi Tennis Federation, the Minister of Sport, and everyone who made this tournament possible.”<\/p>\n

The victory saw Rybakina take home USD 5.23 million. Meanwhile, Sabalenka got USD 2.7 million as the runner-up.<\/p>\n

Rybakina also managed her tour-best 45th hardcourt win of the season. He became the 10th straight first-time winner of the WTA finals. This year, Sabalenka won four titles, including the US Open, and has registered 63 wins.<\/p>\n
