Rybakina, Sabalenka Go for Broke Today Elena Rybakina will play fifth seed Aryna Sabalenka in a power battle today in Melbourne; Rybakina has shown the same form that carried her to a maide
Elena Rybakina will play fifth seed Aryna Sabalenka in a power battle today in Melbourne; Rybakina has shown the same form that carried her to a maiden major title at Wimbledon last summer, while Sabalenka has not lost a set through 10 matches so far this season.
In two similar semi-finals, Wimbledon champion Rybakina saw off Victoria Azarenka before Sabalenka reached her first Grand Slam singles final with victory over unseeded Pole Magda Linette. Rybakina’s huge serve has been her biggest weapon but she has also been formidable off the ground in conditions that suit flat hitters.
There has been something different about Sabalenka at Melbourne Park this year and she is yet to drop a set in 10 matches in 2023 following her successful march to the Adelaide title which warmed her up nicely for the season’s first major.
