Aryna Sabalenka got the better of former world number one Victoria Azarenka in the first all-Belarusian WTA final to lift the Ostrava Open title.

Azarenka had conceded just four games in beating her compatriot at this year's US Open, but Sabalenka returned the favour in the Czech Republic, coasting to a 6-2 6-2 victory in just 68 minutes.

It proved to be a memorable day for Sabalenka, who won the women’s doubles alongside Belgium’s Elise Mertens after the pair brushed aside Canada’s Gabriela Dabrowski and Brazil’s Luisa Stefani 6-1 6-3.
