This year's WTA awards ceremony for the 2025 season generated a lot of reactions. Fans were impatiently waiting to see who would receive the awards, and it seems that they were mostly deserved awards and that most are satisfied with this year's selection.
As expected, Aryna Sabalenka was named player of the year for the second year in a row. The Belarusian tennis player absolutely dominated this season with a large number of victories, finals and titles. In total, she brought record prize money earnings, but most emphasize that without her mentality and discipline, this kind of success would not have been possible.
In addition to the Belarusian tennis player, Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend were named the best doubles team of the year, given their great season and incredible success at Grand Slam tournaments.

The most improved player
Amanda Anisimova made a big step forward this year and received the award for the most improved player. Anisimova really surprised everyone with her dominance this season and great results, and above all with her reaching Grand Slam finals.
Comeback Player of the Year
Belinda Bencic was named Comeback Player of the Year after a long break due to motherhood.
Newcomer of the Year
The last award, i.e. newcomer of the year, went to Victoria Mboko, who made significant progress in the WTA rankings.
Reactions
The reactions of the fans were mostly positive, due to the naming of Aryna Sabalenka as this year's best player. This will be an additional motivation for the Belarusian tennis player to be equally dominant in the next season. Whether she will succeed in this is difficult to give a precise answer, but most believe that Sabalenka will be dominant next season as well.

Next year will be an opportunity for players from this list, as well as for those who did not receive an award this year, to improve further and possibly win such a prestigious award next season.
