Aryna Sabalenka won her first Grand Slam title by overcoming a history of buckling under pressure and coming from behind to beat Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the women’s singles final of the Australian Open on Saturday.

The match was a showdown between two of the biggest hitters in the sport and it was a closely contested match throughout. Sabalenka had a shaky start to the match and committed a number of double faults which put her in a difficult position early on. Rybakina took advantage and went on to take the first set 6-4.

However, Sabalenka was able to steady herself in the middle of the match and was able to turn things around by taking the second set 6-3. The final set was a display of raw power and precision by Sabalenka which Rybakina was unable to match.

The final point of the match was a tense moment as Rybakina sent a forehand long and in an instant Sabalenka was on her back on the blue court, crying tears of joy and relief. Sabalenka’s victory was a microcosm of her career, a shaky start followed by a steady mid-match recovery and a final set display of raw power and precision that her opponent could not answer.

This victory marks a significant milestone in Sabalenka’s career as she has now overcome the history of buckling under pressure of late-round Grand Slams and has shown that she can now be considered a serious contender for future Grand Slam titles. With this victory, Sabalenka has truly arrived on the big stage and has shown that she is no longer afraid of the pressure that comes with it.
