Aryna Sabalenka works out the rust to power past Renata Zarazúa in Brisbane

ABC  

There is something familiar and aloof about the world's best tennis players. The second set, won to love, was described by Sabalenka as "a perfect set", and completed a 6-3, 6-0 victory in just 68 minutes. "I started really well, but then I think I was over-trying to do stuff," Sabalenka said. Having made 13 unforced errors in the first set, Sabalenka made just six in the second, hitting 25 winners overall, 11 in that second set as the rust fell away. "You're saying that like it's already in the history, that she's going to win it," Sabalenka said with a grin.
