Belarusian fifth seed Aryna Sabalenka recorded her first Grand Slam singles title by fighting back to beat Elena Rybakina in the Australian Open final. In what was an absorbing contest between both the players, 24-year-old Sabalenka came out as a deserved winner by a 4-6 6-3 6-4 win over Rybakina. The Belarusian then celebrated her victory by posing with the trophy as she rode a gondola in the Royal Botanical Gardens with the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Trophy the morning after defeating Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan in the women's singles final at the Australian Open tennis championship.
