In some surprising tennis business news, World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka has signed with the sports management company Evolve, which was founded by four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka and her agent, Stuart Duguid.
Sabalenka joins the already star-studded roster of the burgeoning Evolve agency, which includes Osaka herself, Nick Kyrgios, Anna Kalinskaya and rising American star Iva Jovic.
Founded in 2022, Evolve is dedicated to representing athletes who transcend their sport and influence culture. The reigning Australian Open and US Open champion has been one of the most dominant and popular figures on the WTA Tour over the last year, and it comes as no surprise that she was highly sought after her departure from IMG.
