Aryna Sabalenka has become the 5th player in the Open Era to reach five consecutive Women’s singles Grand Slam finals on hardcourt, matching a record that hasn’t been seen in 25 years.
Martina Hingis, aged 16, is the youngest Australian Open champions in tennis history and is followed by arch-rivals Monica Seles and Steffi Graf.
Aryna Sabalenka has achieved a new incredible record on the courts of the Australian Open. The Belarusian, beating her friend Paula Badosa, has got her third consecutive final in Melbourne (who is playing right now against Madison Keys ).
American Madison Keys stunned world No. 2 Iga ÅšwiÄ…tek in an all-time Australian Open classic, coming from a set down to win 5-7, 6-1, 7-6(8) and set up a final showdown against Aryna Sabalenka.
Steffi Graf (1988-90) and Monica Seles (1991-93) have also achieved the feat, but Sabalenka was quick not to overlook her upcoming clash with Badosa
