Rybakina won their semifinal 7-6 (7/4), 6-3 at a blustery Rod Laver Arena and will meet Aryna Sabalenka or Magda Linette in Saturday's final.

MELBOURNE - Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina beat Victoria Azarenka in straight sets to reach the Australian Open final on Thursday and end the Belarusian's dream of a third Melbourne title.

"I'm super happy to be in the final. Today it was a bit tougher for me because it was different conditions," said the 23-year-old Rybakina. Rybakina reached the last four largely on the back of her powerful serving, having sent down 35 aces in her five matches, more than any other player. Now powering winners off both wings and utilising her wide reach, Rybakina broke a second time for 5-3.
