Today, the last unbeaten seeded player Nina Stojanovic of Serbia crashed out in the semifinals by losing to Sabalenka 6-2 6-2.
The seventh seeded Stojanovic struggled with her first serves allowing Aryna Sabalenka to dominate from the start.
The Serbian World No 286 served one ace and committed just two double faults as against Sabalenka's five, but it was the Belarussian who sent down winning returns.
Sabalenka was never broken, while she broke Stojanovic twice in the first set before winning it 6-2.
Sabalenka's 6-2, 6-2 win in an hour and 10 minutes ended the run of seeded players at the year-ending ITF Women's tournament.
The second semifinal of Court No 1 saw the two Russians Anna Morgina and Viktoria Kamenskaya slug it out for just under two hours in a three-set battle.
Morgina won 2-6 6-2 6-2.
Morgina began with a bang sending down the line winners to open up 4-2 lead before pocketing the set 6-2 in exact 30 minutes.
The Russia-Ukraine pair of Valentyna Ivakhnenko and Anastasiya Vasylyeva won the doubles title beating Indo-Chinese Taipei duo of Prarthana Thombare and Chieh-Yu Hsu in super tie-break.
The only Indian in the fray, Prarthana took the initiative early on as she and her Chinese Taipei partner won the first set 6-4.
But then they began to fall apart as the top seeded pair of Ivakhnenko-Vasylyeva began to put the ball in right places to win the crucial points.
