Aryna Sabalenka is widely considered one of the best players in women's tennis, but she still hasn't won a Grand Slam event. Only Elena Rybakina stands in her way in the Australian Open, but she'll be tough to beat, as our expert tennis picks explain.
At this point in the tournament, it’s hard to say either woman hasn’t had to overcome some adversity to get here, and both have beaten some quality opponents.
The Azarenka match was a real test for Rybakina, considering she served under 50% in the first set. As arguably the best server on tour, that’s a very critical number. She was able to raise it above 70% in the second set, perhaps shaking off the nerves.
