2023 AUSTRALIAN OPEN - DAY 13 :
Results Finals :

Women' s Singles : Aryna Sabalenka (5) won her 12th WTA tournament in career (first Grand Slam and 8th on hard), defeating
Elena Rybakina (22) 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 after 2h 28'

In first set, the Kazakh started better, breaking the Belarusian in third game and then moving up to 4-2, Sabalenka reacted and broke her opponent back in the eighth game, going on 4-4, but then she lost again her serve in the very next game and this time Rybakina didn' t tremble, closing the set 6-4 after 34'; in second set it was Sabalenka who took a break in the fourth game, the Kazakh continued to fight, saving 3 break-points of 1-4 and two consecutive set-points on 2-5, but then she couldn' t save in ninth game, with Sabalenka who closed the set 6-3 at the third set-point after 57'; the Final was thus decided in the third set, that remained in balance until 3-3, then, in the seventh game, the Belarusian made the deciding break, keeping it until the final 6-4, closing at fourth match-point, after saving a 5-5 ball, then exploding in a liberating cry for the most important success in her career, which makes her the 128th Grand Slam champion in history and will make her become world's N° 2, while Rybakina, who lost her first Grand Slam Final after the triumph at Wimbledon last year, will still be able to console herself by entering the WTA
"Top 10" for the first time, given that from next week she will be world's N° 10.
