Aryna Sabalenka had the last laugh as she hoisted the Australian Open title on Saturday - five years on from being cruelly mocked by fans on debut in Melbourne.
Belarusian star Sabalenka recovered from early nerves to produce a stunning comeback and oust Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina 4-6 6-3 6-4 in a thrilling final.
Sabalenka became the first Grand Slam champion to play under a neutral flag amid her nation's support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
