Andy Roddick believes Aryna Sabalenka “has every right to think she’s the best player in the world right now” after the Belarusian defended her title at the 2024 Australian Open.
The former world No 1 described Sabalenka as the “most consistent player” on the planet in light of her recent major results and praised her for resolving her “serving yips.”
Sabalenka defeated Zheng Qinwen 6-3, 6-2 in the final of the Australian Open on Saturday to claim her second Grand Slam title and defend the maiden crown she won in Melbourne last year.
The world No 2 was remarkably dominant during her title run as she did not drop a set in her seven matches and lost more than three games in just two of the 14 sets she won. These sets came in her 7-6(2), 6-4 semi-final victory over Coco Gauff.
