Melbourne: Not even a point penalty for hindrance could slow Aryna Sabalenka's run to a fourth consecutive Australian Open final. The top-ranked Sabalenka overpowered Elina Svitolina 6-2, 6-3 Thursday night to move within one victory of a third Australian Open title in four years. She's the third player in the Open era to reach four consecutive women's finals at the Australian Open after Evonne Goolagong and Martina Hingis. “I've been watching her game, (Svitolina) was playing incredible. Sabalenka broke serve in that game and controlled most of the remainder of the match.
