• Azarenka is now 16-6 since the start of the 2024 season, giving her the highest winning percentage (66.0%) she has had since 2021.

• Azarenka has also broken serve at 37.1% this year, giving her an edge over Pegula when it comes to serving, and only the slightest disadvantage when the ball isn’t on her racquet.
• Azarenka is 115-60 on clay in her career, and she has a slight edge over Pegula on the dirt when it comes to winning percentage.
