RIYADH (Reuters) - Aryna Sabalenka can finish a spectacular season by securing the year-end world number one ranking, while Iga Swiatek will eye a late surge to reclaim top spot as the duo take centre stage at the WTA Finals in Saudi Arabia from Saturday.
Sabalenka retained the Australian Open title in January, lifted the U.S. Open trophy and triumphed in Cincinnati and Wuhan to leapfrog Swiatek and top the WTA rankings last month.
