ARYNA SABALENKA defeated Elina Svitolina today to reach her fourth consecutive Australian Open final. Svitolina could probably have done without the hindrance that umpire Louise Azemar Engzell called against Sabalenka at the start of the fourth game. Engzell ruled that Sabalenka, who is known for her loud grunting, had called out after she had hit the ball, giving the point to Svitolina. Sabalenka called for a video review but the original decision stood and, fuelled by apparent rage, the four-time grand slam singles champion promptly broke serve. Sabalenka will face Elena Rybakina in tomorrow morning’s final starting at 8.30am (BST).
