Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek Left Far Behind by Aryna Sabalenka as She Becomes a Worldwide Icon in an Interesting Stat
Coco Gauff recently outshined the likes of Novak Djokovic, Aryna Sabalenka, Naomi Osaka, Iga Swiatek, and a few others in the SportsPro’s 50 Most Marketable Athletes list. Gauff is ranked 13th on the list, while the one (Sabalenka) who won two Grand Slam titles this season is placed in the 38th spot. Some fans agreed, but others looked a bit surprised with this listing. However, recently a fan came up with an interesting stat, and guess what? Here, the Belarusian superstar looks way ahead of the 20-year-old American!
What are those statistics all about, though? Well, a fan recently shared a global map that depicted the percentage of searches surrounding some of the top WTA stars. In that picture, it was quite evident that Aryna Sabalenka looked way ahead of her other counterparts which included the likes of Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, and Naomi Osaka. The fan captioned his tweet stating, “Don’t really have an opinion cause it’s all subjective but it’s interesting to look at who’s been the most popular Google search over the last 12 months.” Did the fan just raise an eyebrow at the recent list published by SportsPro?
Well, opinions may vary, but with Aryna Sabalenka dethroning Iga Swiatek at the top of the WTA rankings, the number of searches surrounding the Belarusian superstar was bound to creep up further. What you ever wondered what really makes an athlete popular, I mean what really makes them “marketable“?
