WTA Finals Riyadh: Elena Rybakina dismantled Aryna Sabalenka to capture the Australian Open women’s singles crown, avenging her loss to the Belarusian in the 2023 final, where she won the opening set before falling in three sets.

The 26-year-old Kazakh took two hours and 18 minutes to prevail 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 in the championship match, striking 28 winners en route to capturing her maiden Australian Open crown and second Grand Slam title. Rybakina, who was seeking her second Grand Slam title after winning Wimbledon in 2022, hadn't dropped a set at Melbourne Park until Saturday.

After Rybakina took the first set 6-4, Sabalenka scored a massive break in the final game of the second set to force a third-set decider.
