“I lost my father four years ago,” Aryna Sabalenka tells audiences in the 2023 tennis docuseries Break Point. “We had one dream: that before 25, I will win a couple of grand slams.”
Sabalenka made that dream a reality on Saturday as she clinched her second grand slam title at the Australian Open, defending the championship crown she won last year at the same tournament.
The 25-year-old Belarusian accomplished a crushing defeat of her opponent, China’s Zheng Qinwen, in just two consecutive sets.
