Play to 15 Sabalenka, close to the second ace. He worked on his serve, and improved it, during the preseason with a biomechanics specialist.

A game of born punchers
Rybakina is the player with the most aces on the circuit. He maintained this dominance in the Open, leading 45 in 6 matches.

Both he and Sabalenka play straight, direct shots. They do not predict. At maximum risk.
