Aryna Sabalenka vs Sloane Stephens Prediction & Picks - WTA Australian Open

 by Lou Aguila | in Tennis Picks

Aryna Sabalenka will take on former Grand Slam winner Sloane Stephens in the first round of the women's singles tournament at the 2025 Australian Open. Sabalenka, who is eyeing a third straight Australian Open crown, picked up where she left off last year as she opened her 2025 WTA season campaign with another title at the Brisbane International. The Belarusian came from a set down to gut out a 4-6 6-3 6-2 win over Polina Kudermetova in the championship match. Stephens hopes to end an 8-match losing streak with a massive win over the world’s No.1 women’s singles player. The former US Open championship has a 53.4 percent hard-court win rate. Sadly, she has struggled to find her championship form in the past few years.
