[1/3] Aug 29, 2023; Flushing, NY, USA; Aryna Sabalenka in action against Maryna Zanevska of Belgium on day two of the 2023 U.S. Open tennis tournament at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
The Australian Open champion converted three of her four break point opportunities and saved the two break points she faced during the 74-minute match in Louis Armstrong Stadium.
The Belarusian second seed consolidated an early break for a 3-0 lead and while Burrage responded with holds to love on her next two service games Sabalenka leaned on her own serve to seal the opening set.
Sabalenka was barely tested in the second set where she hit a forehand winner to go up a double break before closing it out with a hold to love.
Up next for Sabalenka will be a clash against Frenchwoman Clara Burel, a 6-4 6-2 winner over Czech 25th seed Karolina Pliskova.
