Australian Open 2025: Sabalenka rues tactical errors in final against Keys
The HinduAryna Sabalenka said trying to out-muscle a similarly powerful Madison Keys in the Australian Open final was the wrong approach, and she should have been more tactical after her bid to claim a third straight title at the Grand Slam ended in failure. “I would have tried not to out-hit her but to play more tactically and probably the most important thing, but to boldly go after the ball,” Sabalenka told Reuters in Russian. “It’s obvious that there were decisive moments at the start, I just let her warm up, and then I heroically tried to get out of the situation and return to a more equal situation.” Both players hit 29 winners, but the quality and timing of the shots Keys produced left Sabalenka helpless at times. “If she can continue playing the way she was playing today, yeah, she can be in the top five.” Victory would have made Sabalenka the first woman to lift the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup in three successive years since Swiss Martina Hingis from 1997-99, and the 26-year-old said she was disappointed not to seal the deal.
