Her prowess extends to doubles as well, where she has secured six WTA titles, notably winning the 2019 US Open and the 2021 Australian Open alongside Elise Mertens.
The series aims to resonate with both dedicated fans and casual viewers alike. "Aryna's Arena is your all-access pass to the heart and hustle behind one of the greatest athletes of our time," her team stated, emphasizing its broad appeal.
