Aryna Sabalenka triumphed in the 2025 Brisbane International final, overcoming a strong challenge from Polina Kudermetova with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory. This win marked Sabalenka’s 18th career title and reinforced her dominance on Australian soil, where she has now captured four titles, including back-to-back Australian Open crowns.
Kudermetova, a qualifier, impressed with her incredible run to her first WTA final, highlighted by a win over World No.9 Daria Kasatkina. Her performance not only earned her respect but also propelled her into the top 100 rankings, reaching a career-high of No.57.
With this momentum, Sabalenka now looks ahead to the Australian Open, aiming to achieve a historic three consecutive titles, a feat last accomplished by Martina Hingis in the late 1990s.
