In an intense semifinal clash at the Australian Open on January 23, 2025, world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka delivered a commanding performance to defeat Paula Badosa, securing her spot in the tournament’s final with a straight-sets victory of 6-4, 6-2. This win marked Sabalenka’s third consecutive final at Melbourne Park, underlining her dominance in the competition.
The match opened with Badosa taking an early lead by breaking Sabalenka’s serve and going up 2-0. However, Sabalenka quickly regained control with a series of powerful groundstrokes, winning four consecutive games to shift the momentum in her favor. The closure of the stadium roof due to light rain seemed to benefit Sabalenka, allowing her aggressive style to flourish. She eventually claimed the first set 6-4 after showcasing her ability to handle high-pressure situations.
In the second set, Sabalenka continued her dominance. An early double fault from Badosa gave Sabalenka the opportunity to break serve, which she capitalized on with precision and power. By maintaining her aggressive approach, Sabalenka secured another break to close out the match. The Belarusian recorded 32 winners compared to Badosa’s 11, highlighting her attacking prowess throughout the encounter.
With this victory, Sabalenka advances to the final, where she will aim for her fourth Grand Slam title and a historic third consecutive Australian Open trophy. Her opponent in the final will be the winner of the semifinal clash between Iga Swiatek and Madison Keys.
For Badosa, the defeat marked the end of a remarkable run to her first Grand Slam semifinal. Her performance during the tournament was inspiring and is expected to propel her back into the WTA Top 10 rankings, signaling a promising year ahead for the Spanish star.
Sabalenka’s victory reaffirms her position as a dominant force in women’s tennis, and all eyes will now be on her as she seeks to make history in the upcoming final.
