World number one Aryna Sabalenka warmed up for a tilt at a third Australian Open title in four years in an ominous 6-4, 6-3 win over Marta Kostyuk in just 78 minutes to win her second successive Brisbane International crown on Sunday.
Every day you go out there and prove your level, and I think this week I did it really well, said Sabalenka after a week in which she powered to the title without dropping a set.
Salablenka lost in the Melbourne Park final last year to Madison Keys, having been the Australian Open champion in 2023 and 2024.
