In an electrifying finale at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka emerged victorious against American sixth seed Jessica Pegula, winning the U.S. Open women's singles title with a score of 7-5, 7-5.
Sabalenka showcased her resilience by overcoming breaks in both sets, ultimately securing her first title at Flushing Meadows. The match, held under a closed roof due to heavy rain, kept spectators on the edge of their seats as the two players battled through a stormy affair.
Despite Pegula's impressive comeback in the second set, Sabalenka's raw power and precision at the net proved decisive. The 30-year-old Sabalenka celebrated her third Grand Slam title, following her two Australian Open victories, with tears of joy and an exuberant celebration alongside her team.
Pegula, who had long awaited her first major final, faced challenges with her racket tension and could not match Sabalenka's performance despite the supportive New York crowd.
