Sabalenka Beats Keys Decisively To Secure Indian Wells Final Spot

sabalenka beats keys decisively to secure indian wells final spot

World number one Aryna Sabalenka stormed past Madison Keys with a dominant 6-0, 6-1 victory on Friday, booking her place in the Indian Wells WTA 1000 final.

The Belarusian took just 51 minutes to dispatch the fifth-ranked American, gaining sweet revenge for her defeat in the Australian Open final earlier this year.

Determined to make amends, Sabalenka was relentless from the outset, wrapping up the first set in a blistering 23 minutes.

Keys, who entered the match on a 16-match winning streak, struggled to find any rhythm against her opponent's powerful groundstrokes and precision.

Despite finally holding serve at 5-1 in the second set, the American had little reason to celebrate as Sabalenka quickly closed out the match.
