Aryna Sabalenka's triumph is the result of quality and productive teamwork in the off-season. And one more proof - the events that occur around the Belarusian athletes only harden their character.
On the other side of the net, a young 18-year-old Linda Noskova made her way to the final match. She has already been called the main sensation of the tournament. The Czech tennis player who occupies the 102nd position in the world ranking at first made our Victoria Azarenka to put away her racket, and in the semifinals she defeated the number two in the world rating - Ons Jabeur. Of course Noskova was going to continue, but the Czech's strategy was destroyed by Aryna Sabalenka.
In the first game Sobolenko managed to b to win the set 6:3. The second game was even more stubborn and lingering, both players had fewer chances to win. The result of the game and the match was inevitably decided in the tie-break, where the experience did its work - 7:4 victory of Aryna Sabalenka.
This title was the first for Arina Sobolenko in the last year and a half and the 11th in her career.
A curious fact is that in four games Sobolenko never gave up a single set to her opponent. And 470 rating points will not raise our Aryna in the world ranking. But we believe that this is only for now.
On Monday starts the qualification of the first Grand Slam tournament of the season - the Australian Open. Aryna Sabalenka will start in the main round.
Australian Open organizers did not follow the Wimbledon example and let the Russian and Belarussian tennis players play without any questions, because the title can only be won in a fair fight, when everyone is entitled to fight on the court and the really strongest wins. Today in Adelaide it was Aryna Sabalenka.
