MELBOURNE (AUSTRALIA) (ITALPRESS) – Second Slam in career for Elena Rybakina. After Wimbledon 2022, the tennis player Kazaka won the Australian Open female, staged on the Melbourne Park cement (a total record of 111.5 million Australian dollars). In the remake of the final of 2023, the 26-year-old born in Moscow subverted the pronostic and beats in three sets the number 1 of the world and the board, the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, with the score of 6-4 4-6 6-4, matured in 2 hours and 19 minutes of play.
Rybakina, n.5 of the board and the ranking, already sure to match his “best” (from Monday he will return n. 3), had won in two partials the most recent challenge, in the last act of the Wta Finals of Riyadh last November. The kazaka is part of the American gold pit Madison Keys, winner of the 2025 edition. No tris, on the other hand, for the 27-year-old Sabalenka, queen of world tennis, which in Slam ‘aussie’ had been set in 2023 and 2024. Tomorrow, Sunday, the male final between Spanish Carlos Alcaraz (1) and Serbian Novak Djokovic (4).
