Command Analysis
Aryna Sabalenka
BelarusCurrent Form
Sabalenka secured titles in Cincinnati and at the US Open, then took a break without experiencing any decline in performance as she transitioned to hard courts in Asia. In Beijing, Aryna has recorded two convincing victories over Savagkjai (6-4, 6-1) and Kruger (6-2, 6-2). In these matches, the Belarusian player only dropped her serve once, maintaining her aggressive style and presenting her opponents with an unmanageable pace.
Professional Qualities
Aryna plays aggressively on the court, giving her opponents little time to think and seizing every opportunity to attack with her powerful forehand. Her serve is also in excellent form.
Current Rankings and Statistics
As the season draws to a close, Sabalenka has the opportunity to compete with Swiatek for the title of world number one, especially since the Polish player is skipping the tournament in Beijing. Currently, Aryna holds the second spot in the world rankings, boasting an impressive hard court record of 32 wins and just 6 losses.

Madison Keys
USACurrent Form
Kiz was unable to showcase her best at the US Open, where she suffered a third-round loss to Mertens. However, upon arriving in Beijing, Madison has demonstrated a solid level of play. She advanced without dropping a set, defeating Soribes Tormo 6-2, 6-1 and Haddad Maia 6-3, 6-3. In these matches, she focused on keeping rallies short and aggressively attacked whenever the opportunity arose. Additionally, her opponents struggled to challenge her on serve.
Professional Qualities
Kiz is a predominantly aggressive player. She feels uncomfortable in prolonged rallies, preferring to play quickly. When Madison is in form, it's tough for opponents to withstand her powerful forehand and strong serve.
Current Statistics on Tour
The American player missed the early part of the season, so she has only played 11 matches on hard courts thus far, winning seven. Currently, Kiz is ranked 24th in the world.
