Aryna Sabalenka triumphed at the U.S. Open, claiming her first title at this Grand Slam after previously finishing as the runner-up. The Belarusian powerhouse defeated Jessica Pegula with a score of 7-5, 7-5 under challenging conditions at Arthur Ashe Stadium, showcasing her impressive mental and physical strength throughout the match. This victory marks Sabalenka's third Grand Slam title, adding to her previous Australian Open wins and solidifying her position as the new World No. 1 in women's tennis. Last year's final saw her in tears after a devastating loss, but her determination and improvement over the past year have been significant. The match was played in front of a supportive crowd, contrasting with last year's experience, and Sabalenka acknowledged Pegula's efforts, expressing confidence in her future success. The win not only rewards Sabalenka with $3.6 million but also highlights her evolution as one of the most consistent players in the sport.
