Australian Open 2025: Sabalenka ready to summon the tiger inside for Melbourne three-peat bid

The Hindu  

Aryna Sabalenka is clear favourite to win a third straight Australian Open title later this month but the Belarusian did not get to be world number one by taking anything for granted. “Every time you’re out there, you have to compete, you have to fight,” she said on Sunday after beating Russian Polina Kudermetova in the Brisbane final. Rather like Australian former Grand Slam champion Ash Barty, Sabalenka’s success came only after she surrounded herself with a tight support team. “I think it’s a balance on and off the court life, be able to work really hard, be focused on your goals, but at the same time having some fun just so you’re not going to drive yourself crazy.” Sabalenka, who won her first U.S. Open title last year, has lost only once in her last 28 matches at the two hardcourt Grand Slams and will take some stopping on Melbourne Park’s blue courts.
