Aryna Sabalenka Wins Grand Slam Australia Open 2024

JAKARTA - Aryna Sabalenka came out as the winner of the Grand Slam Australia Open 2024 after defeating Zheng Qinwen with a score of 6-3 and 6-2 in a 76-minute match at the Rod Laver Arena, Saturday, January 27, 2024.

The victory also brought Sabalenka to defend his Australian Open 2023 title. In addition, the Belarusian tennis player also listed his name as a tennis player who was able to defend his major title, the first since the last decade.

He gained a similar achievement from Victoria Azarenka who defended her major title at the 2013 Australian Open after defeating Li Na.

Sabalenka opened the top match of the 2024 Austaralia Open neatly. He broke Zheng's service to lead 2-0. A similar situation was carried out when he won the first set 6-3.

In the second set, the 25-year-old again often broke Zheng Qinwen's serve. He had received some fierce resistance from the Chinese tennis player who forced him to sue.

However, Sabalenka was able to get out of that pressure and secure the second set with a score of 6-2.

Sabalenkan's victory was predicted from the start. He was so superior that he did not lose a set from the first half to the final.

The record refines its statistics set at the 2023 Australian Open. Last year, Sabalenka won 28 out of 29 sets before becoming champions.

The only player who was able to steal the set from Sabalenka was Elena Rybakina in the final.

The Australian Open 2024 title is the second Grand Slam trophy in his career as a single player.
