Elena Rybakina, the reigning Wimbledon champion, picked up her first win in three meetings with Jelena Ostapenko to make her first Australian Open ...

Rybakina saved some of her best serves for last, firing three aces in the final game, including on her third match point.

"I guess everybody else needs to think if, in this aspect, they need to work more or not, because some girls, they are fine maybe not with the speed but they have good angles on the serve. "I would say that I always served big, but for sure when I started to work with my coach, we did a lot of changes on the technique," Rybakina said. Just as she had in many of her matches during her Wimbledon run, Rybakina took command with her exceptional serving.
