Aryna Sabalenka has done it once again! On Thursday (January 29), the Belarusian registered a convincing 6-2, 6-3 victory over Elina Svitolina to progress to the Australian Open semifinal for the fourth consecutive time.

The two-time Australian Open singles champion will clash with Jessica Pegula or Elena Rybakina in the title clash. It was back in 2023 that Sabalenka lifted her career’s first Grand Slam singles title by battling past the Kazakh ace. She defended her crown the following year against Qinwen Zheng but was denied the three-peat by Madison Keys last year.

Sabalenka, right after winning the last point of the match, swore, “F**k you” under her breath to celebrate her win. The two did not shake hands because of the Ukrainian players’ no-handshake stance.

The win helped Sabalenka improve her head-to-head record over the World No.12 to 6-1. Svitolina will be back in the top 10 on the rankings table thanks to her run to the semifinals. Before her exit, Svitolina dismantled two-time Grand Slam singles champion Coco Gauff in the quarterfinals.

The defeat also ended Svitolina’s 10-match winning streak, as prior to arriving in Melbourne, the 19-time singles titlist beat Wang Xinyu in the ASB Classic. Sabalenka also already has a title to her name this year. She defended her Brisbane International crown by cruising past Marta Kostyuk.

The four-time Grand Slam singles champion will also be playing in her seventh consecutive hardcourt Major final. She suffered just two defeats in those matches: to Keys in last year’s Melbourne Slam and to Gauff in the 2023 US Open final.
