A brilliant performance 👏 Elena Rybakina is heading to the #AO2023 women's singles final! @wwos • @espn • @eurosport • @wowowtennis • #AusOpen
Elena Rybakina continues to deliver smashing tennis as she defeated two-time Melbourne queen Azarenka 7-6(4) 6-3 to move into her second grand slam final.
Rybakina played in only one final so far and it was last year's Wimbledon final. She won that one and now she'll have a chance to win one more in Australia. It comes after she defeated Victoria Azarenka rather comfortably even though there were a few nervous moments. The Kazakhstani player controlled the tempo in most rallies with her heavy game.
A lot of points ended either with her winner or Azarenka trying to outhit her which didn't go as planned for the Belarussian. She hit 9 aces and 30 winners which was more than enough to secure the match. Azarenka played decently but she was unable to weather the storm against one of the best players in the world right now.
She's not ranked as such due to missing 2000 points from Wimbledon but in the past six months, Rybakina proved she's one of the best at what she does.
