Aryna Sabalenka is now 26-1 in Australia since the start of 2023 after semifinal win in Brisbane

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka continues to assert her dominance in Australian tennis, achieving an impressive 26-1 record in the country since the start of 2023. Her remarkable run includes back-to-back Australian Open titles in 2023 and 2024, cementing her reputation as a powerhouse on Australian courts.

Sabalenka’s only loss in this period came during the 2024 Brisbane International final, where she was defeated by Elena Rybakina. Despite this blemish, her consistency and form have been exceptional. In the ongoing 2025 Brisbane International, she has once again advanced to the final after a commanding 6-3, 6-2 victory over 17-year-old rising star Mirra Andreeva in the semifinals. This win highlights Sabalenka’s ability to handle the pressure and deliver against formidable opponents.

The Belarusian will now face Russian qualifier Polina Kudermetova in the final, aiming to reclaim the Brisbane title. Kudermetova has had a breakthrough tournament, but Sabalenka’s experience and record make her the favorite. A victory would further bolster her legacy in Australia and provide momentum heading into the 2025 Australian Open.

Sabalenka’s success can be attributed to her aggressive style of play, powerful groundstrokes, and mental resilience. Her ability to maintain top form throughout multiple seasons and tournaments reflects her dedication and skill. As the tennis world watches, Sabalenka remains a symbol of dominance in the women’s game, particularly in Australia. A win in Brisbane would mark another milestone in her already illustrious career, reaffirming her as one of the sport’s premier athletes.
