Australian Open 2024: Aryna Sabalenka beats Zheng Qinwen 6-3, 6-2

Live Mint  

Aryna Sabalenka clinched back-to-back Australian Open titles with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Zheng Qinwen on Saturday in a one-sided women’s final. "As usual, my speech is going to be weird — it's not my super power.” Only two things slowed down Sabalenka's progress Saturday to her second Grand Slam singles title. Then, when she was serving for the match, Sabalenka had three championship points at 40-0 but missed two with wide or long forehands and another with Zheng's clever drop shot. Sabalenka is the first woman since Victoria Azarenka in 2012 and ’13 to win back-to-back Australian Open titles, and the fifth since 2000 to win the championship here without dropping a set — a group that includes Serena Williams.
