Tennis star Aryna Sabalenka will compete in the Adelaide International women's singles final after a 6-3, 6-2 win over Irina-Camelia Begu
Aryna Sabalenka has advanced to the Adelaide International women's singles final with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Irina-Camelia Begu.
The world's fifth-ranked player had five double-faults but finished the match with her sixth ace on Saturday.“She’s playing a little bit different style, so I’m super happy that I was able to win this match,” she added, referring to her rival Begu. Sabalenka won more than 80 percent of her points on her first serve and controlled the match from the baseline.
She will meet either teenage qualifier Linda Noskova or top-seeded Ons Jabeur in the final on Sunday. They play their match later on Saturday.
