Description

Gigi Salmon and Russell Fuller are joined by Annabel Croft and Pat Cash as they review the semi-finals of the women's singles at the Australian Open. Aryna Sabalenka beat Elina Svitolina to reach her fourth Australian Open final in a row, whilst Elena Rybakina beat Jessica Pegula in straight sets to end her three year long wait for a Grand Slam final and to set up a rematch of the 2023 final.
