View Profile . The newly crowned Australian Open champion stepped out on the town on Sunday as a Grand Slam winner for the first time, and took her trophy for a spin in front of one of the city's most scenic backdrops.

Sabalenka, who'll return to No. 2 in the Hologic WTA Tour rankings Monday, took the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup on a tour of the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, complete with a gondola ride.

Clad in a blush-pink dress and blue high heels, Sabalenka didn't look out of place among Melbourne's prettiest scenery; her outfit also featured floral details at the neck, arms and hemline.

She posed for the cameras with both the trophy and a bottle of champagne and told a small group of assembled reporters that she was still living the dream less than 24 hours after coming from behind to defeat Elena Rybakina
