AI-generated summary
The WTA Masters brings together the eight best players of the season each year at the end of the year. Elena Rybakina, world number 1, is absent from the tournament. Aryna Sabalenka won the WTA 1000 in Indian Wells and Miami this year, but has never won the WTA Masters (two finals lost, in 2022 and 2025).
A real thunderbolt. The Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, world number 2, was eliminated on Friday November 13 by the Ukrainian Elina Svitolina (6th) in the group stage of the WTA Masters, in Indian Wells. Favorite of the tournament which brings together the eight best players of the season at the end of the year in the absence of world number 1 Elena Rybakina, Sabalenka was too inconsistent against Svitolina, who won 6-3, 3-6, 6-1, to qualify for the semi-finals.
“I am very happy to have won this battle (...). She gave me a few opportunities here and there in the third set and I took advantage of them,” said Svitolina after her victory. The Ukrainian, winner of the 2018 edition, will face the Czech Linda Noskova (8th) in the semi-final.
Aryna Sabalenka, who won the WTA 1000 in Indian Wells and Miami this year, has never won the WTA Masters (two finals lost, in 2022 and 2025). And she concludes on this false note a bitter season, marked by two defeats in the Grand Slam final (Australian Open and US Open).
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
