Aryna Sabalenka thumps Magda Linette in straight sets in the Australian Open reaching her first Grand Slam finals, which she will play against Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina
Sabalenka has been exuding a calmer, more assured, persona on court, without losing any of her famed aggression.
Linette had enjoyed a dream run to her first Grand Slam semi-final at the age of 30, already knocking out four seeded players on the way including world number four Caroline Garcia of France. Sabalenka was being made to work hard and showed all her new-found patience to get back on terms with a break of her own, to love, for 2-2 and the set went to a tiebreak.
An ace that barely clipped the line stretched it to 5-0 and she closed out comfortably after 51 minutes, having smacked 20 winners to just seven from Linette."I would say that I didn't start really well," admitted Sabalenka.
