Belarusia’s Aryna Sabalenka tops the list.

There are many statistics that fans of the tennis game can read into and analyze once the match is wrapped up or during the encounter. While watching your favourite player unleash an ace or hitting the perfect volley can be a delight, the perfectly positioned winner ends up with a point and helps a player dominate the flow of the game.

Here are five players who have unleashed most number of winners this season on WTA Tour 2023:

Liudmila Samsonova – 1463

Liudmila Samsonova has 1463 winners to her name in the current season. Though Samsonova is yet to win a major title on the WTA Tour, she came close this year, reaching the finals of WTA 1000 events in Montreal and Beijing. She fell short on both occasions, in the finals, losing to Jessica Pegula and current World No. 1 Iga Swiatek.

However, she tasted victory in the doubles category at the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open, pairing up with fellow Russian Veronika Kudermetova.

Elena Rybakina – 1556

Elena Rybakina, with 1556 winners, finished fourth in the list. The 24-year-old from Kazakhstan achieved a career-high ranking of world no. 3 in June this year but has since slipped one position to No. 4. She claimed trophy at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia against Ukrainian Anhelina Kalinina and further took part in the year-ending WTA Finals but exited in the group stage. Moreover, Rybakina finished as the finalist at Australian Open 2023.

Caroline Garcia – 1829

Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia finished just above Ostapenko in the third position with 1829 winners. She boasts of most aces this year and is in first place with 462 among the top 20 players. The US Open 2022 semifinalist reached the finals of the WTA 500 event in Monterrey, Mexico.

Furthermore, the former world no.4 won the Berlin Ladies Open doubles trophy in partnership with experienced Luisa Stefani.

Jelena Ostapenko -1832

Jelena Ostapenko made her debut in 2015 and later went on to win her first Grand Slam in 2017 – the French Open. She made it to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon Championships in the same year and reached the semifinals in the following year. While the successive years were not kind to her, she has shown a resurgence in 2023, reaching the quarterfinal stage of the Australian and the US Open respectively.

She got to the semifinals of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome and won the Rothesay Classic WTA 250 event held in Birmingham. The Latvian finishes second in the list with 1832 winners this season.
