Sabalenka ended her 15-match winning streak against top 10 players. <br \/>Swiatek&#8217;s path to the top was eased by the shock retirement in March of Australia&#8217;s Ashleigh Barty, who finished number one from 2019-2021. <br \/>Sabalenka lost in the final to France&#8217;s Caroline Garcia &#8212; who became the second French woman to win the title following Amelie Mauresmo in 2005. <br \/>Both finalists in the WTA season-ender in Texas on Monday rise two places &#8212; Garcia to fourth and Sabalenka to fifth. <br \/>WTA rankings (Russia and Belarus athletes not allowed to represent their nations because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine): <br \/>1.
