Expect this year's Australian Open women's singles final to be full of power hitting after Aryna Sabalenka overcame plucky Pole Magda Linette 7-6 (7/1), 6-2.

The win puts Sabalenka into her first slam final, where she will face reigning Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, who earlier defeated Victoria Azarenka 7-6 (7/4), 6-3.

Unseeded Pole, Linette, had the best grand slam run of her career and was hoping to become just the third woman in the Open era to win the Australian Open as an unseeded player.

Her campaign came crashing to a halt against the fifth-seeded Belarusian, who is yet to drop a set this year, making it 20 in a row with this win.

Linette though gave it her best shot to stop Sabalenka's dominant summer and even started the better of the two players as she raced to an early break and 2-0 lead before Sabalenka broke back in the fourth game of the match.

The pair then traded holds for much of the set and Linette withstood a Sabalenka barrage at 5-6, 0-30 down to force a tiebreak.

But that would be the beginning of the end.

Sabalenka fired up her power game, increasing her speed of shot, to take the breaker 7-1.

Sabalenka said the tiebreaker was the turning point.

"I would say that I didn't start really well," Sabalenka said.

"In the tiebreak, I kind of found my rhythm and just started trusting myself, started going for the shots ... it was great tennis from me on the tie break."

It was a harbinger of things to come in the second set.

Ever the great frontrunner, Sabalenka loosened her shoulders in the second, and simply overwhelmed and overpowered Linette.

Linette managed to save two match points at 2-5 but it mattered not and only delayed the inevitable as Sabalenka served it out in the next game to book a place in her first Australian Open singles final.
