The Belarusian tennis star, Aryna Sabalenka, created history, as she claimed her first Grand Slam. A remarkable way to start the season. The World No.5 survived an early scare, as she lost the first set to the Kazakh Elena Rybakina, trailing 6-4, including 5 double faults.

The hard-fought battle ended with a much-deserving win for the Sabalenka team. And the Wimbledon finalist, Ons Jabeur, and Sabalenka’s best friend, Paula Badosa, joined the ecstatic tennis fans to congratulate her.
