The world No 1 triumphed 6-3, 6-2 to book a meeting with Polina Kudermetova in tomorrow’s showdown.

BRISBANE: Aryna Sabalenka powered into the Brisbane International final with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over teenager Mirra Andreeva today, taking a step closer to a first trophy of the year before her Australian Open title defence begins later this month.

World No 1 Sabalenka saved five breakpoints to edge a tight opening set against her 17-year-old Russian opponent, who had stunned the then ailing Belarusian in the French Open quarterfinals seven months ago.

Fit and firing on all cylinders in her opening tournament of the new season, Sabalenka shifted gears in the second set for an early break and eased through to book a meeting with Russian Polina Kudermetova in tomorrow’s final.
