Command Analysis
Aryna Sabalenka
BelarusCurrent form
Sabalenka is close to defending her last year result in Brisbane, when she managed to reach the final. Then, in the decisive match, Elena Rybakina did not allow her to win the title (0-6, 3-6). This year, Arina reached the semifinals without giving up a single set, although her only really easy match was against Sarasua (6-4, 6-0), where she managed to win with class. In the second match, the world number one racket met fierce resistance from the unyielding Putintseva, but still won in two sets (7-6, 6-4) due to more reliable actions on her serve. The quarterfinal against Bouzkova was also quite tight (6-3, 6-4).
Professional qualities
Arina plays in a very aggressive manner, attacks at the first opportunity, using her powerful forehand, always trying to seize the initiative in rallies right from the return. On fast surfaces, she is often helped by a strong first serve.

Mirra beat all her opponents in two sets. The most difficult for her was the quarterfinal against the experienced Jabeur (6-4, 7-6). Before that, she more than confidently dealt with Blinkova (6-4, 6-4) and Noskova (6-3, 6-0).
Professional qualities
Mirra is only 17 years old, but on the court she demonstrates very mature tennis, strictly adheres to the developed game plan, thinks through combinations, forcing her opponents to make mistakes, does not rush at any cost to finish each rally with a smash. We note Andreeva excellent footwork, which allows her to get difficult balls on the back line.
