Aryna Sabalenka had long been tipped to win a major singles title once she burst onto the WTA scene.

On Saturday, the 24-year-old rose to the occasion when she battled past reigning Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, after two hours snd 28 minutes to come through a tremendous Australian Open final.

Sabalenka’s talent and personality have clearly resonated with her peers, as the Belarusian was showered with messages of "well deserved" congratulations. Among the messages included a heartwarming exchange with tour bestie Paula Badosa, who also made sure to set that record straight in a cute response to the AO Twitter handle.

Fellow major winner Bianca Andreescu also got in on the action, likely making reference to the treat Sabalenka was seen eating backstage after her victory.
