In the final in Brisbane, world No 1 Sabalenka delivered an imperious display to defeat Kostyuk 6-4, 6-3 as she claimed her 22nd career WTA Tour singles title.

Sabalenka now holds a 5-0 head-to-head record against Kostyuk, and she has won all 10 of the sets she has played against the 26-year-old Ukrainian.

The Belarusian did not drop a set across her five matches in Brisbane as she defended the title she won in 2025 at the WTA 500 tournament.

Kostyuk has secured 325 points for her runner-up finish, which has increased her points total to 1,983 and lifted her six places to 20th in the Live WTA Rankings.

What did Aryna Sabalenka say after the final?

In her on-court speech during the trophy ceremony, Sabalenka said: “I want to congratulate Marta and her team on an incredible start to the season.

“I wish you all the best. I hope we meet many more times in the finals to show great tennis.”

In her press conference, Sabalenka was asked if she has sent a warning shot to her rivals and confirmed her status as the Australian Open favourite.

“Well, I don’t know. It’s tennis, it’s sport, and that’s why it’s so beautiful because you cannot predict anything. It’s like every day you go out there and you prove your level, you prove your point,” said the 27-year-old.

“I think this week I did it really well, but nobody knows what’s gonna happen in the future, but the only one thing I’m sure is that I will be there, I’ll be fighting, I’ll do my best to go as far as possible and do a little bit better than I did last year.

“That’s where is my focus. My focus is on my game and developing myself and making sure that I’m strong and healthy heading to the AO.”

What did Marta Kostyuk say after the final?

During the trophy ceremony, Kostyuk spoke about Ukraine.

“I wanna say a few words about Ukraine,” the 23-year-old said. “I play every day with pain in my heart. There are thousands of people who are without light and warm water right now. It’s -20 degrees outside.

“It’s very painful to live this reality every day. My sister is sleeping under three blankets because of how cold it is at home. I was incredibly moved and happy to see so many Ukrainian flags this week.”
