**New York, NY** – Aryna Sabalenka cemented her place as the queen of the hardcourt, defeating Amanda Anisimova in straight sets (6-3, 7-6(3)) to win her second consecutive US Open title. The victory marks Sabalenka’s fourth Grand Slam title and makes her the first woman since Serena Williams (2012-2014) to win back-to-back US Open championships.
In a highly anticipated final between two power hitters, Sabalenka’s composure and fewer unforced errors proved to be the deciding factor. While Anisimova, fueled by the energy of the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd, fought hard, she ultimately couldn’t maintain consistency against Sabalenka’s relentless pressure.
“I want to thank everyone who came here,” Sabalenka exclaimed after the victory, visibly emotional. “I’m going to reach a lot more finals, and I don’t care where you are in the world, I want you in my box.”
For Anisimova, the loss marked another tough Grand Slam final experience. “It’s been a great summer. Losing in two finals in a row is great, but it’s also super hard,” a tearful Anisimova said after the match, referencing her recent Wimbledon final defeat.
The match was a tense affair, with both players exchanging powerful blows from the baseline. Sabalenka managed to save three break points in the opening game, showcasing her mental fortitude. While Anisimova briefly took the lead in the first set, Sabalenka quickly regained control, breaking back and closing out the set with an un-returnable serve.
The second set saw Anisimova dig deep, but Sabalenka’s dominance was clear in the tiebreak, where she stormed to victory, securing her place in US Open history.
