    Aryna Sabalenka is putting her clutch third-round win at the Australian tennis Open down to her experience and mental toughness


    The defending women's champion had to dig deep to get past ASB Classic winner Clara Tauson at the Melbourne Grand Slam today.

    While the scoreline says "straight sets", Sabalenka needed to come back to win both sets with the Belarusian constantly trading service breaks with the Dane.
