Australian Open: Crowning time for Rybakina or Sabalenka
On Saturday morning (January 28, 10:30 a.m.) Arina Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina will fight for the title at the Australian Open.
Two tennis players known for their aggressive, impressive, and… not touching the ball game face off in the women’s final of the 111th edition of the Australian Open.
Arina Sambalenka and Elena Rybakina will perform on Saturday morning (January 28, 10:30 a.m., Eurosport) with the prize of this year’s 1st Major Trophy in a fight that promises to be extremely interesting and is expected to keep everyone ablaze.
The most experienced, Rybakina, who won her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon a few months ago, will face rookie but more used to big games, Sabalenka, in the Major final.
A match in which it will be decided who has the better day, the data so far show a great derby anyway. After all, both are doing extremely well at this year’s Melbourne tournament.
Favored by the conditions and fast balls, Sabalenka and Rybakina found some perfect games on their way to the final, they won comfortably and the fight between them should mean a lot in men’s tennis. As for speeds.
The 23-year-old from Kazakhstan, ranked No. 22 in Melbourne, has won 12 of the 13 sets she played at this year’s AO and is playing at a similar level of tennis as she did in London a few months ago when she was crowned champion at Wimbledon .
The Belarusian can be even more convincing with her results. He counts 6/6 wins in straight sets and has reached the finals without getting “caught”.
What’s even more impressive about her is the fact that she didn’t lose a set even in the tournament she played in Adelaide before AO. That means it comes from 11 straight wins and 22 straight sets won!
If she succeeds and is crowned champion in Australia, Sabalenka will celebrate her first major title, while a loss will see her rise to second in the world rankings next week.
As for Rybakina, her run to the finals secured her new career high, ranked 10th, while if she achieves the trophy, she will reach ranked 8th.
The only thing that is certain is that their fight will be impressive.
