The Kazakh tennis player Elena Rybakina and the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka will play the final of the Australian Open, the first grand slams of the year, in an unprecedented match in the tournament and which will allow the winner of the duel to lift the title for the first time in her career.

While Aryna Sabalenkacurrently number 5 in the WTA ranking and who became number 2 in the world, still does not have any title of grand slams in his career and will look for his first ‘big one’, the Kazakh Elena Rybakina (number 25) does know what it is to win a grand slams After his win at Wimbledon last year.

The first to get the ticket for the final of this edition was Rybakinawho won the Belarusian Victoria Azarenka in two sets (7-6, 6-3) in 1:41 hours of the game. A tight duel in the first round, which was decided 7-4 in the tie breakbut that in the second set he had in Rybakina to the absolute dominator.

And that the Kazakh missed the first of the three match balls she had. But, still with a margin of error, she pressured the Russian to make a new unforced error and be able to celebrate her pass to the grand final, where she will seek her fourth tournament and second grand slams.

In front you will have Sabalenkawho went to the final battle beating the Polish Magda Linette in two sets (6-7, 2-6) in 1:33 hours of the game.

A shock similar to that of Rybakinain which Sabalenka had to go to tie break (1-7) to close the first round and, in the second, he imposed his game to show that he is in shape (he has just won the Adelaide 1 tournament).
