Sabalenka required just 62 minutes to claim a 6-1 6-2 victory at a sweltering Rod Laver Arena on Saturday.

Andreeva, whose sole win in four previous meetings against Sabalenka came in the quarter-finals at Roland-Garros last year, said she was "so tired" of playing against the world number one, and the 17-year-old's pre-match comments were proven to have some grounding.

She was simply no match for the top seed’s precision or power, as Sabalenka reeled off an 18th straight match win at the hard-court grand slams, and a ninth consecutive victory this season.

The two-time reigning champion struck three aces, did not commit a double fault and saved all three break points she faced, while breaking Andreeva four times.

"This series is not just about the two teams playing; it's about reviving the spirit of hockey in Delhi. We hope this will inspire more young players from the region to take up the game," Harmanpreet stated in a press release issued by Hockey India.

A cross-court forehand long from Andreeva teed up match point, and an underhit return from the Russian on the next shot capped a superb Sabalenka victory.
