Saba won 28 of her 29 sets in Melbourne Park, including her 2023 run
Saba is the first player to defend her first major title since Victoria Azarenka 2013 AO win against Li Na. She is also the first player since Azarenka that year to defend an AO crown
BTW since 2000, 4 players have won AO without losing a set
2000 Davenport
2008 Sharapova
2017 Serena Williams
2022 Ash Barty
2024 Aryna Sabalenka
Aryna Sabalenka fulfilled her father's dream, who passed away in 2019 at just 43 year old. We had one dream that before I turn 25, I will win a couple of GS.
After her AO today she fulfilled 'her father's dream'.
Last 6 GS for Sabalenka
