A Belarusian tennis player, Aryna Sabalenkahas won the Open the Australia, a tournament in which Russian and Belarusian athletes are banned due to the invasion of Ukraine. And how can this be? Because the organization of the first Grand Slam of the season allowed to play but without representing these countries. That is, without them being listed as Russians and Belarusians. But Sabalenka has won and even though the flag did not appear on the scoreboard or at the award ceremony, she she is a proud belarusian always accused of being very close to President Lukashenko, Putin’s great associate.
With all this, Aryna Sabalenka has won her first Grand Slam title by winning the final of the Australian Open a la kazaya Elena Rybakina for a tight 4-6, 6-3 and 6-4. It so happens that Rybakina is Russian by birth and heart and Kazakh at the competition level because this country paid him a pasture in order to have sporting successes.
Thus, first final and first victory for Sabalenka. In a show of physical power, the Belarusian he came back a set and maintained his streaka by beating Rybakina. Tall, muscular, with guns on her arms and imposing roars to celebrate her points, this Belarusian he was a wonder of nature who trembled at key moments and so far had accumulated up to three defeats in the Grand Slam semifinals.
The tennis player from Minsk, who connected 17 direct kicks, put the finishing touch to an impeccable Australian tour, in which he won the title in Adelaide and the first ‘major’ of the season, after losing just one set in the final of the latter tournament. But in her first final, and also against the current Grand Slam champion, she was able to prevail over an imprecise start, with numerous double faults, and with up to 51 winners imposed his law in the Rod Laver Arena.
