Belarusian final in Ostrava between Sabalenka and Azarenka

Belarusians Aryna Sabalenka and Victoria Azarenka established their status as favorites to reach the final of the Ostrava (Czech Republic) tournament, which is played on hard court.

Sabalenka, third seeded, beat American Jennifer Brady 6-4, 6-4 to reach the eleventh end of his career to aspire to his seventh title, the second this year after Doha.

He beat the North American in 67 minutes to face his compatriot Azarenka, fourth seed and former world number one, who reached the fortieth individual final of her career after beating Greek Maria Sakkari 6-1, 6-3.

Victoria Azarenka reaffirmed her good time. After confinement, he won his first title since 2016 in New York, the twenty-first in his career, and reached his fifth Grand Slam final at the United States Open.

It took an hour and 38 minutes to knock down Sakkari, who barely questioned the Belarusian's triumph.
