Kazakhstani tennis player Elena Rybakina won the Australian Open singles title for the first time in her career on Saturday, LETA reports.
In the final, the world’s fifth-ranked player Rybakina defeated the top-ranked player — Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka — with a score of 6:4, 4:6, 6:4.
Rybakina is also the champion of Wimbledon 2022. In Melbourne, she reached the final in 2023 as well, but lost to Sabalenka in three sets.
Next week, Rybakina will rise to third place in the world rankings again, as she did in the summer of 2023.
