Sabalenka battles to Indian Wells title
Image caption, Aryna Sabalenka has won 23 WTA Tour titlesGetting a puppy, getting engaged, saving championship point and winning a long-awaited Indian Wells title – it has been a week world number one Aryna Sabalenka will remember "for the rest of my life".
In the latest chapter of what has already developed into an extraordinary rivalry, Sabalenka put the ghosts of January's Australian Open final defeat against Elena Rybakina to bed with a 3-6 6-3 7-6 (8-6) victory over the Kazakh.
The players pushed each other to the limit under the blazing sun in California until Sabalenka edged the tie-break, including saving championship point with a thumping backhand winner.
