Defending champ Sabalenka cruises to Aussie Open title
Aryna Sabalenka completed a ruthless defence of her Australian Open title by beating first-timer Zheng Qinwen in the final.
The world number two lifted her first grand-slam trophy at Melbourne Park 12 months ago and has been untouchable this fortnight.
The Belarusian did not drop a set in seven matches and defeated China's Zheng 6-3 6-2 to become the first player since countrywoman Victoria Azarenka 11 years ago to claim back-to-back titles here.
