Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina never stopped believing she would collect a second Grand Slam title after holding her nerve to defeat Aryna Sabalenka, the world No. 1 and two-time champion, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, to win the Australian Open.
Rybakina, the fifth seed, arrived as the in-form player after her triumph at the WTA Finals last November.
It is her second major title after her win at Wimbledon in 2022.
Sabalenka did not hide her frustration after another tough loss in a major final, but she handled it with greater composure than after her loss to Coco Gauff in the French Open final.
