Sabalenka Holds Off Kudermetova To Win First Brisbane Title
Queensland Tennis Centre: Aryna Sabalenka won her second Brisbane International title to enjoy a perfect start to her 2025 WTA Tour season. This was her fourth trophy Down Under since 2023.
Sabalenka came back from a set down to defeat the 21-year-old qualifier Polina Kudermetova 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the women's singles final to secure her 18th career title. The Belarusian won her first Brisbane title in 2023, when the event was held in Adelaide. In that final, she beat another qualifier, Linda Noskova.
Kudermetova was chasing her eighth straight win at the Queensland Tennis Centre, having earlier taken down seeds Liudmila Samsonova and Daria Kasatkina en route, but found arguably her finest in the first set of her first encounter with a World No.1.
