Aryna Sabalenka fought back from a set down to defeat Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina and claim her first grand slam title in a terrific Australian Open final.
In a battle of two of the biggest hitters in the women's game, Belarusian Sabalenka seized the initiative after dropping the opening set to win 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 and thus becomes the first singles player to win a slam under a neutral flag.
The 24-year-old could not bring herself to watch Rybakina claim the title at the All England Club, so disappointed was she at being banned from competing because of Belarus' role in supporting the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
