Multiple USSR tennis champion Olga Morozova told that the Belarusian Arina Sabalenko will easily beat Zheng Qingwen in the final of the Australian Open if she can cope with her nerves, and the Chinese will act the same as in the semi-final match.
Sabalenka is the current tournament champion. In the semi-finals, the second racket in the world defeated American Cori Gauff and Zheng Qingwen defeated Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska.
— The women’s final will be very tense. I like Sabalenka: she has excellent technique, data, phenomenal skills and movement on the court. Arina is not afraid to work, she has a wonderful team supporting her. Sometimes a Belarusian woman cannot control herself emotionally.
If the Chinese plays the same way as in the semi-final, then Sabalenka will easily win. If Zheng Qingwen is active and Arina starts to get nervous, the match could become difficult for her. I hope Sabalenka will face her worries and continue to play like she did before in the tournament. Arina passed the Australian Open with dignity, I wish her a good final and a victory,” Morozova told .
The final match between Sabalenka and Zheng Qingwen will take place on Saturday and will start at 11:30 Moscow time.
