TRWorld No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is preparing for the WTA 1000 tournament in Toronto as she aims to maintain her top ranking ahead of the U.S. Open. Sabalenka has struggled recently on clay and grass surfaces, losing to Elena Rybakina at the Australian Open and Naomi Osaka at Wimbledon. Her performance in Toronto could determine whether Rybakina overtakes her to claim the world number one spot. Sabalenka took time off after Wimbledon, spending time on the Greek island of Mykonos, and expressed readiness to compete. The tournament features strong competitors such as Jessica Pegula, Amanda Anisimova, and Iga Swiatek, while Rybakina faces challenges in the other half of the draw. Other notable players like Coco Gauff, Linda Noskova, and Alexandra Eala are also competing, though some top players are sidelined due to injuries or recovery periods.
