With the 2024
Australian Open only a few week away, defending singles champion
Aryna Sabalenka took some time to reflect on the journey to her maiden Grand Slam title.
Sabalenka defeated Elena Rybakina in a tight three-set encounter, recording a 4-6 6-3 6-4 victory to clinch the biggest title of her career. The Belarusian took home the cash prize of $2,975,000, in addition to the confidence that enabled her to hold the World No.1 position later during the season.
Historic moment still gives her chills, admits Sabalenka
In anticipation of next year's event, the official Australian Open Instagram account posted a recap of last year's final. The clip showcased the best points and moments from the match, and Sabalenka got in on the action soon afterwards.
"Still getting goosebumps watching it," wrote the World No.2 after resharing it on her own Instagram account.
