Sabalenka, who now has three titles already this season, holds a 23-1 record in 2026 and now stands as a 24-time WTA champion.<\/p>\n
Her only loss came against Elena Rybakina, but she\u2019s bounced back by adding titles at Indian Wells and the Brisbane International to her tally.<\/p>\n
The world number one took to social media after defending her Miami Open title to share her celebrations with fans.<\/p>\n

Aryna Sabalenka shares a message to her fans after Miami Open win<\/p>\n
Posting photos from her time in Miami, Sabalenka wrote on Instagram: \u201c305 champ again.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe feeling of holding this trophy will never get old.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis tournament will always be home to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to my team and all of the fans supporting me along the way.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love you Miami!\u201d<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old now has 11 WTA 1000 titles under her belt.<\/p>\n
Sabalenka shares her motivation after Miami Open win<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a busy month for Sabalenka, who also defeated Elena Rybakina to win Indian Wells earlier in March.<\/p>\n
And she has since spoken about the mindset that drives her to keep pushing forward, even as the accomplishments pile up.<\/p>\n
She told the WTA website: \u201cWhen I lost my father, I just set up a goal that I want to put our family name in history, and that\u2019s been something that\u2019s been pushing me so hard every day to work hard, to become a better player and I also become a better person.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s my motivation, and also I would like to be an example of someone who has fun off the court, but also like super focused when I\u2019m competing just to show\u2026 I feel this is the healthiest approach.\u201d<\/p>\n
This balance seems to be working well for Sabalenka. She clearly enjoys life away from tennis while staying committed on it. And it hasn\u2019t hurt that she\u2019s earned over $2.3 million in prize money during her recent run in the United States.<\/p>\n
The clay-court season is coming up quickly now. Sabalenka will look to carry her strong form into a surface where she\u2019s still building her legacy.<\/p>\n
