Adelaide International 1: Noskova stuns Jabeur in Adelaide to set up Sabalenka showdown

Jabeur, last year’s Wimbledon and U.S. Open runner-up, had trouble with her lower back in the early stages of the clash and the Tunisian surrendered an early break to go a set down before taking a medical timeout. She returned rejuvenated to grab the second set dropping only one game, but found herself a break down at 1-3 in the decider and Noskova held her nerve to grab the victory.

Sabalenka will look to stop the youngster in the final on Sunday after she made short work of Irina-Camelia Begu, sealing a 6-3 6-2 victory to make her first final since beating former world number one Ash Barty in the 2021 Madrid title clash.

“I’m happy with the level I played today, especially with her different game,” Sabalenka said of Begu. “She’s playing a… a different style so I’m super happy that I’m able to win.”
