The "neutral" Belarusian won the Australian Open, defeating her Chinese opponent
Aryna Sabalenka won the championship title of the Australian Open 2024, with scores of 3:6, 2:6, in Melbourne on Jan. 27.
In the final match of the tournament, the second-ranked women’s tennis player met her Chinese opponent, Zheng Qinwen.
Sabalenka dominated the match, allowing Qinwen to win only five points in two sets and defending her title, which she won last year.
The match lasted for 1 hour and 17 minutes.
Sabalenka had previously defeated Ukrainian tennis player Lesia Tsurenko on her way to the championship. Qinwen, meanwhile, defeated Dayana Yastremska in the semifinals.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
