Probable that Sabalenka overpowers Andeeva once again but the teenager is improving by the week and her future is certainly looking very bright.
Break point conversion rates in both matches:
- Sabalenka 58%, 7-for-12
- Andreeva: 0%, 0-for-11
The world #1 also accumulated more winners and fewer unforced errors:
- Winners: Sabalenka 41 / Andreeva 33
- UFEs: Sabalenka 33 / Andreeva 44
Will Andreeva do better today?

Today will be the ultimate test to Mirra Andreeva’s recent growth. Sabalenka has already beaten her twice on hardcourts this season: 6-3 6-2 in Brisbane and 6-1 6-2 at the AO.
Both times, the teenager failed to break Sabalenka’s serve, going a combined 0-for-11 on break points.
