Aryna Sabalenka triumphed over Jessica Pegula to claim her third Grand Slam title at the 2024 US Open, winning in straight sets 7-5, 7-5. The match showcased intense momentum shifts, with Sabalenka recovering from being down in both sets to secure her victory, marking her first US Open title. Pegula, who will rise to a career-high No. 3 in the WTA rankings, expressed frustration over her loss but acknowledged the confidence gained from her successful hardcourt season, which included a title in Toronto and a runner-up finish in Cincinnati. Despite her disappointment, Pegula's performance throughout the tournament, including defeating world No. 1 Iga Swiatek in the quarter-finals, reflects her significant progress. Sabalenka's win solidifies her status among the elite in women's tennis, having also won the Australian Open earlier this year. The final was attended by a packed crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium, highlighting the high stakes of the match.
