If Sabalenka can carry her form through the clay season, she\u2019ll have a chance to do something no player in women\u2019s tennis has ever done before \u2013 though she\u2019ll need to wait until after those matches wrap up before it becomes official.<\/p>\n<p>Sabalenka is chasing an American sweep<img alt=\"Photo by Rich Storry\/Getty Images\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cbd7a94aeaf828a12935806e4e51f509.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Photo by Rich Storry\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Bastien Fachan pointed out on social media that Sabalenka is in a position to accomplish something no woman has ever accomplished before.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019ll have to wait until August for her next opportunity, which comes at a tournament where she\u2019s already tasted success.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>No player has ever held all four major American hard-court titles at the same time: Indian Wells, Miami, Cincinnati, and the US Open. With three of those already hers between 2023 and 2024, Sabalenka only needs to add Cincinnati to complete a unique sweep.<\/p>\n<p>Sabalenka\u2019s next step is turning WTA success into Slam wins<\/p>\n<p>While WTA titles, especially at the 1000 level, are always valuable, Sabalenka knows her record in Grand Slam finals isn\u2019t where it needs to be.<\/p>\n<p>And although tennis success goes beyond just major wins, Grand Slam trophies do shape how players are remembered.<\/p>\n<p>The Belarusian has been a consistent force on the tour for several years now, but despite reaching eight finals and another six semi-finals, she has just four majors to her name.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Turning those deep runs into more Grand Slam titles is what she needs to truly cement her status among the game\u2019s legends.<\/p>\n<p>Even now, Sabalenka will be remembered as one of the standout players of her era. If she can find a way to carry her dominance into major finals, though, there\u2019s no reason why she couldn\u2019t finish her career in the conversation for the greatest of all time.<\/p>\n<p>Given her work ethic, raw power and ability across different surfaces, that should be within reach \u2013 and probably what she expects from herself too.<\/p>\n<p>After losing again at this year\u2019s Australian Open, Aryna made some adjustments that could help push her game forward again. She spoke about this following her recent defeat in Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Read more:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sabalenka completes historic Sunshine Double with Miami Open win.
