In a gripping finale at the U.S. Open, Aryna Sabalenka emerged victorious on Saturday, besting American sixth seed Jessica Pegula with a scoreline of 7-5 7-5.

Amidst the fervent cheers for the home favorite at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Sabalenka maintained her composure and broke Pegula in the final game, sealing her first title win at Flushing Meadows. A year after falling short in the final, the second seed demonstrated immense grit, recovering from a break down in both sets to ultimately claim victory.
