Aryna Sabalenka spoke with Jelena Dokic post-match, and the pair had a silly moment when they disagreed over exactly when the women’s final is (Hint: It’s Saturday night, as usual).
On the win and making her fourth consecutive final:
I cannot believe that, honestly. And yeah, that’s an incredible achievement. But the job is not done yet and [I’m] super happy with the win. She’s [Svitolina is] such a tough opponent who was playing really incredible tennis throughout the whole week. I’m super happy to be through this tough match.
On her aggressive baseline shots:
I’ve been watching her [Svitolina], her game. She was incredible against Coco [Gauff] and overall throughout the tournament, and I felt like I have to step in and put as much as much pressure as I could back on her, and I’m glad that the level was there today. I played great tennis and [I’m] happy to get this win in straight sets.
