Aryna Sabalenka has successfully defended her Australian Open title, becoming the first woman to win back-to-back titles at the event since Victoria Azarenka in 2012-2013. Sabalenka won the championship match against Zheng Qinwen in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2. This victory not only marks Sabalenka's second consecutive Grand Slam title but also places her among the elite group of players who have won the Australian Open without dropping a set, a feat last achieved by Ash Barty in 2022. On the other side, Zheng Qinwen's remarkable run to her first Grand Slam final marks a historic moment, as she becomes the second Chinese player to reach a major final since Li Na, who won the Australian Open a decade prior. Zheng's performance at the tournament has earned her a Top 10 debut, signaling her emergence as a significant player on the WTA tour.
