Elena Rybakina became the first finalist of the Australian Open
A native of Moscow is one step away from winning the trophy.
Tennis player Yelena Rybakina playing for Kazakhstan in the semi-final of the Australian Open in 1 hour and 41 minutes dealt with the Belarusian Victoria Azarenka.
The twenty-second seed at the tournament defeated the twenty-fourth seed with a score of 7:6 (7:4), 6:3.
It is likely that in the main match of the prestigious tournament, Rybakina will have to face another, but more eminent representative of Belarus.
Her opponent in the final will be determined in the duel between Belarusian Arina Sobolenko and Magda Linett from Poland.
