Aryna Sabalenka (2) and Coco Gauff (4) They were the two tennis players with the highest ranking in the semifinals of the Australian Open and fate wanted them to cross paths this Thursday.
The Belarusian, current champion of the tournament, held on to the crown and repeats the final after defeating Gauff, by 7-6(2) and 6-4, in 1 hour and 42 minutes.
The American, who had just reigned in the US Open before what would today be her executioner, had more ups and downs than her rival and got too tangled with the service. She committed up to eight double faults.
The first set clearly represented what a WTA match is. Sabalenka dominated 2-0 and then 4-2. And it was Coco who served for the set with 6-5. I failed and the outcome was sudden death. Aryna took the lead on the scoreboard and led the score until the end with 33 winners.
