Summary

Sabalenka aims to win third Australian Open title.
Rybakina seeks repeat of 2023 final match.
Both players reached the final without dropping a set.

World number one Aryna Sabalenka is set to contest her fourth consecutive Australian Open final, facing Elena Rybakina in a repeat of the 2023 championship match. Sabalenka expressed confidence that she has learned from previous final losses, including painful close defeats in the past year, and is ready to implement a different mentality to secure her third Grand Slam title.

Sabalenka has advanced to the final without dropping a set, a feat matched by her opponent, Rybakina. This marks Rybakina's first Grand Slam final in three years, despite a recent turbulent period including a temporary suspension of her coach, Stefano Vukov, which was later lifted. Rybakina's powerful game and serve, with 41 aces so far, pose a significant challenge.
