World number one Aryna Sabalenka has vastly improved her double faults statistics in 2023.

This year, the Minsk-born committed 256 double faults, sixth in the list of players who committed the most double faults in the competition.

She is behind Russia’s Ekaterina Alexandrova (357), America’s Alycia Parks (302), Belgium’s Elise Mertens (298), Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko (270) and Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk (260).

Last year, Sabalenka ended up committing 428 double faults in 601 service games, something that cannot be described as acceptable and she will be hoping to even improve that even further.
