Aryna Sabalenka claimed her 11th WTA Tour singles title

Second-seeded Aryna Sabalenka defeated qualifier Linda Noskova 6-2 7-6 (4) in the women's final of the Adelaide International to win her 11th WTA Tour singles championship and her first in over two years. By doing so, she put a stop to the remarkable journey of the 18-year-old Noskova, who had advanced to her maiden final by defeating Victoria Azarenka and third-seeded Daria Kasatkina in the main event. Sabalenka didn't drop a set all week and seemed set for another comfortable win when she took out the first set. But Noskova was much more competitive in the second, holding serve and putting pressure on Sabalenka's serve, especially with her powerful backhand returns. “I want to congratulate (Noskova) on an amazing week,” Sabalenka said. Added “I think you're going to have a great future and 100 percent appear in many more finals.”
