"Aryna Sabalenka Brilla en Australia mientras las lesiones afectan las finales ATP y WTA"

¡Bienvenidos nuevamente al Briefing de Tenis de los Lunes, donde The Athletic desglosará las narrativas que se esconden tras los acontecimientos de la semana en la cancha!

This week, the first tournaments of 2025 reached their sharp ends all across Australia and New Zealand. Aryna Sabalenka continued a remarkable record and too many matches were ended by retirements.

On the face of it, there’s little to give the rest of the field hope. World No. 1 Sabalenka comes into the Australian Open as the two-time defending champion, on a run of 27 wins in 28 hard-court Grand Slam matches that took in her first U.S. Open title in September alongside the two Melbourne majors.
