Aus Open: Sabalenka Digs Deep To Make 10th Major Semifinal
Rod Laver Arena: Two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka survived a stern challenge from No. 27 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to reach her third consecutive Australian Open semifinal. Top seed Sabalenka twice came from a breakdown in the decider to advance 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 in 1 hour and 53 minutes at Rod Laver Arena. The middle set was the first Sabalenka had dropped in Melbourne since the 2023 final.
The result means Sabalenka becomes the first player since Maria Sharapova to reach 10 Grand Slam semifinals in her career. Sharapova hit the double-digit mark at the 2008 Australian Open, which would be the third of her five major titles.
With her win, Sabalenka is staying on track to become the first woman to win the Australian Open title three years in a row since Martina Hingis in 1999.
