Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina avenged her defeat in the Australian Open final with a straight-sets win over Aryna Sabalenka to lift the Indian Wells trophy.

The opening set lasted for 78 minutes with the Kazakh winning 7-6 (13-11) and then went on to win the second set 6-4 to get her maiden WTA 1000 triumph.

It marks her first win over the world number two in five attempts.

In January, Belarusian Sabalenka beat Rybakina in three sets in Melbourne to win her first Grand Slam.
