Sabalenka Extends Her Melbourne Mastery
Aryna Sabalenka stormed into her fourth straight Australian Open final with a commanding 6-2, 6-3 win over Elina Svitolina. She controlled the match throughout and never let the contest drift.
Aside from brief tight moments against Anastasia Potapova and Victoria Mboko earlier in the draw, Sabalenka has largely cruised past her opponents with authority, underlining the dominance that made her our outright pick in the Australian Open women’s tournament preview before the event began.
This run extends her winning streak to 11 matches, following her successful title defense in Brisbane earlier this month.
Remarkably, this is her seventh consecutive hard-court Grand Slam final, a feat unmatched since Martina Hingis achieved it in the late 1980s.
Sabalenka owns a 4–3 record in Grand Slam finals, with all four titles coming on hard courts at the Australian Open (2023, 2024) and the US Open (2024, 2025), and she will be looking to convert another dominant run into silverware.

Rybakina Returns for Another Title Shot
Elena Rybakina defeated world No. 6 Jessica Pegula in straight sets, 6-3, 7-6, to reach her second Australian Open final. She weathered pressure in the second set, saving two set points before closing it out calmly.
Like her opponent, Rybakina has yet to drop a set in Melbourne, continuing the level that saw her installed as the second favourite in our Australian Open women’s tournament preview ahead of the event. Her serve has been the standout weapon throughout the fortnight.
She leads the field with 41 aces in Melbourne, collecting free points at will. When her serve is firing, Rybakina remains one of the toughest players to break down on hard courts.
This win extends her winning streak against top-10 opponents to nine matches, a run that began in Ningbo late last season.
Rybakina owns a 1–1 record in Grand Slam finals, having lifted the Wimbledon title in 2022 and finished runner-up at the Australian Open in 2023. She enters this final on a four-match winning streak in tour-level finals, having won seven of her last nine.

Player Quotes
"I actually know what was wrong in all of those finals that I played and I lost. I would say that last year was lots of lessons, lots of things to learn about myself, and definitely not going to happen again this season. I feel like those frustrations were coming from not agreeing of what's going on in the moment, and right now my mentality is I'm ready to do whatever, whatever is in that final." Sabalenka said after reaching the final.
Verdict
Sabalenka’s dominance in Melbourne over the past two years sets a high bar, but Rybakina’s recent form against elite opponents cannot be ignored. Given how well she has matched up with top players lately, Rybakina looks primed to flip the script and claim revenge this time.
