Aryna Sabalenka vs Xinyu Wang: Match Preview
Aryna Sabalenka had a bumpy start to the Australian Open 2022 after dropping her very first set of the tournament, before making a comeback and winning against Storm Sanders in the first round. The World No. 2 had a standout 2021. The 23-year-old has had an incredible clay-court season, winning the Madrid Open and making it to the finals at Stuttgart. Having reached the semi-finals of back-to-back grand slams at the Wimbledon and US Open she reached a career-high ranking of World No. 2. Her rise saw her be the top seed going into the year-end WTA finals, where she did disappoint after exiting at the group stage.
Xinyu Wang enters the 2nd round after a relatively simple win over American Ann Li in the first round, despite having to go to a tiebreaker in the first round. The Australian Open is Wang’s first tournament for the new 2022 season, and the 20-year-old would hope to start the year well.

Meanwhile, Wang would be a massive underdog here, and would like to give a good account of herself in this match.
