Sabalenka, runner-up in Brisbane in 2024, has won the last two Australian Opens and the way she absorbed the pressure from Andreeva in the first set then turned the screws in the second showed why she is considered a strong chance to make it three in a row this year. Sabalenka will now play Russian qualifier Polina Kudermetova, who continued her fairytale week when she beat Ukraine’s Anhelina Kalinina 6-4, 6-3.
It will be the 23-year-old’s fourth final on the ATP Tour and he will be aiming to add the Brisbane title to his Adelaide win last January.
