Aryna Sabalenka clinched her first U.S. Open championship and third Grand Slam title, defeating Jessica Pegula in a tightly contested final, 7-5, 7-5.
Pegula, who reached her first major final, has been on a strong upswing, winning 15 of her last 17 matches, yet two losses were to Sabalenka.
With this victory, Sabalenka adds to her resume following two consecutive Australian Open titles, proving her prowess on hard courts.
Sabalenka's win at Arthur Ashe Stadium marks a significant comeback for her after the disappointment of being the runner-up to Coco Gauff in 2023.
