Three Intriguing 2025 WTA Tennis Storylines to Follow This March

2025 WTA Season Opens Up: What to Watch Next

As 2025 unfolds, the WTA season is proving to be increasingly unpredictable. Entering the year, it seemed Aryna Sabalenka was poised to dominate as the No. 1 player. Alternatively, the tour could have been shaped by a formidable trio, including Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, and Coco Gauff. However, as we approach March, these leading contenders have collectively claimed only one singles victory, with none reaching a final since the Australian Open.

Will March bring more surprises, or will the top seeds reclaim their power?
